as the flowers grow, so do i

It has been a very long time since I have written, obviously. I have been so caught up in the move to Austin and holiday travles, my blog has been neglected. I'm not sure who out there still reads, but I'll write for me.

Austin, so far, is such a fabulous place to live. I'm sitting on the couch with Cooper, a.k.a. "Coopie," enjoying my night, listening to Rocky Votolato. Cooper interrupts the silence, but I am glad. He brings a lot of company to my little apartment when Mitch is not here. I am really looking forward to what the future holds, and the friends to come in this new lively place--but also more than content with what life is now. I have actually never felt so content in my life, thus far. I am so thankful for what a fairly smooth transition this has been. Yes, there have been a few things along the way that have brought small challenges, but nothing too overwhelming. It has brought a refreshing, liberating air to my life. I wake up every morning thankful for the day and its opportunites, and really, waking up to a new day is blessing enough. I work with an eclectic group of great people. I am learning and growing. And there is no reason to complain about that.
