New Start

We are getting ready to move. Right now, our place is full of boxes, things to sell and things  to toss.
I am trying not to stress out about it but how can you not?Everybody knows that moving means new changes, new places and new friends.
This is the hardest part of moving. Leaving the people you care about behind.
This last year in Florida has been great, definitely better than the first one.
I made friends, saw new places and got to enjoy working from home.
We do love Florida for sure. My hubby and I have given a lot of thought about
moving  way back to New Jersey. 
When we moved to South Florida, our hope was to find a place to call home.
I am seriously ready to settle down in one place and call it home.
My ideal would be to live in a small town with few stores, a park
and the beach.
I understand that in some ways, you need to compromise on things because
you can not really have everything.
But I should have known this. I thought I had learned my lesson long time ago
when I had to give up the beauty of South Italy to move to America.
I am not gonna say that Florida is a disappointment but this is not home.We are moving in two weeks or so. And the last few weeks I have been trying to take as many pictures as possible.

I will trasure the photographs and I will look at them with a smile and sadness in my heart.
I will miss our walks at the golf course, the late night talks sitting in front of the lake, and the sofa in my living room, full of dogs.

I will treasure those memories and the people I met.

Thanks for the beautiful year together.
I will miss you all.
