Growing up family and neighbors would pop over to visit on the front porch with us…here, I watch my neighbors cars zip back and forth, back and forth. That sense of discomfort you are feeling seems to be a universal feeling for anyone who leaves “home” and moves into a different place and while there is that lingering sense of discomfort, there is also that sense of anticipation of newness that comes from the stretching and the growing into the person we were created to become. I’m thrilled for you to have this opportunity and pray that you find joy in each day as you settle into your new normal for this year. Much love! Aunt DeAnne
