Feeling A Little Adrift in life.

So I know that I haven't posted much in the past few months...it feels like forever to me. In the meantime, unaware what was coming exactly last time I posted, I have lost someone very near and dear to me. I lost my father the day before Thanksgiving. During that same time I was planning a long distance move to start a new job in Fairhope, AL. Even since I started the draft for this post back in April, I have been unable to face completely the loss of my dad. I took the new job in Fairhope, AL and worked there from Jan 2 to end of April. I undertook another long distance move to start another new job in North Carolina. It has been a good move for me. I feel less adrift, but only barely. I never realized how your immediate family can act as a set anchor for your life, hope, and happiness. Losing my dad has taught me a lot, brought a lot to light within my own life. ALWAYS tell people that you love them, never go to bed upset with someone when it is much easier to forgive (I still struggle with this from time to time. I am more prone to forgive than to forget, but forgetting is how you can make your own happiness.), never take for granted that someone will be there for you. I have learned which of my friends/family are there for one another and which ones are just there for convenience and to get something out of you.Some photos of all of my travels over the past several months.
