Day 102 of Gratefulness: Cap Hill


This week has been very focused on Cap Hill and as I was having coffee with my soon to be new roommate I told him, “This week I am going to truly enjoy Cap Hill and be here now.  As much as I am excited for this new adventure and a new place to live I want to enjoy what I currently have.”  This afternoon I was talking to a friend and I said, “I think I know what cold feet feels like.” She was rather confused, as I am not getting married anytime soon.  What I explained to her was that as I am still committed to this new adventure and I am so excited about it and about having a roommate again and particular living with one of my closest friends on the planet.  But I am sad to leave Cap Hill, I am a little nervous about the changes that are about to happen and if I will even like these changes. 

Prior to moving to Cap Hill I have moved something like 7 times in 3.5 years.  Not because I could not decided where to live but because things just happened and I actually enjoyed the adventure.  After being on the road for 1.5 years and moving on average every 5 days with Up with People those 3.5 years with 7 moves felt like slowing down for me.  I have lived in Cap Hill 8.5 years and I think it has just gotten comfortable, it is safe and routine for me.  It became so routine that I did not appreciate it as much as when I first moved here. 

Over these last few days I have fully engaged myself again and remembered why I had moved here and what I love about it.  The beauty of moving away is that I get to visit, I get to love it all over again…it will be like a destination resort.  I am excited for that.  I am excited to feel like when I come here it is like visiting home, visiting family and visiting a community I just love so damn much.
