I never thought I’d be one to be longing for work.
After all, my career is in healthcare. So when my husband said his company wanted to move his job from Texas to Louisiana, I was totally on board. After all, my job is mobile right?
Well not completely. Jobs for occupational therapist are MUCH harder to come by here. So I’m still looking, even 3 months after our move. In the mean time, I’m trying to enjoy the slower pace of life. Its weird how you can get caught in such a grove that when everything slows down its actually HARDER to deal with. I suppose we are always learning, its a human thing.
Road trips are one of those slow things. Something I would never had time for when employed, I mean a plane can get you there so much faster. But since I’ve got the time, my cousins and I decided to indulge in a cousins road trip. Despite growing up together, we have not all been together in over ten years. So last week we changed that with a road trip spanning from Texas to Louisiana to Georgia.
Visit the Peach factory of course.
And visited with each other all afternoon. And played on the play ground.
And laughed at our selves. Really hard.
I miss my job, but slowing down has forced me to remember life is about enjoying the silly and small things sometimes, that slowing down is OK, and that we are never too old to play. Even on the playground.
Ok. Maybe not on that one.
So lucky to have gotten to see these awesome ladies.
