We've been here for about four months now. And I can't say that the adjustment has gotten any easier. I still have days that I bask in my newfound freedom to set my own schedule, hit the open road and discover my new surroundings. But then, there are just as many days that I question everything. Who I am. What I was placed on this earth to do. And the biggie: did I just make the biggest mistake of my life?
Through the good and bad, what I hear and see more and more is how the population is dwindling. Houses sit empty. Businesses close. Schools are almost too eager to enroll your children.
And everyone let's me know how happy they are to see a young family move back.
What I've learned, I learned watching TV. By making this move, we are ultimately choosing to work in order to live. We are no longer living to work. Basically, we may be giving up bigger salaries but we're gaining greater freedom and a slower pace which allows us to breath deep and take more time to appreciate the small blessings that have.
So if you're tired of the rat race, we've got a seat with your name on it.
