Change is Good?

So here we are.....back in Panama City, I have always felt like Panama City is bordering on being Alcatraz, (the prison in San Francisco Bay) ...you can check out anytime you want...you just can't ever leave!

Regardless, as nostalgic as I am about this new chapter in our lives, I am ready to embrace it...The past couple of months have been challenging for me in ways that I have not shared! What we need now is to re-charge our life batteries and focus on the boat and get her fixed! Pierre has been working at the shop every day making a new riser for the engine and we have been doing lots of other things...boat related.

You know...every major change in our lives has lead us into something greater than before, all of the major shifts in our life were not without some type of emotional pains...but every single time we came out on the other side...we were better, stronger, more focused....each and every change we have endure has cultivated us into something even better, whether or not we knew it at the time. 

I know, I know...Change is part of life.  Change is good and necessary for growth... But despite being a person who's life has been defined by the unconventional I have never been one to take life changes in stride and deal with it like an adult..whenever we parted ways with all our boating buddys...I cried!  As much as I hate to admit this rather large character flaw about myself, I like the way things were!" "Leave me be! I was happy where I was!!!" 

When my little world is rocked, it takes me a good, long while to get my bearings again. Guess I am not as "go with the flow" as I might like to think I am.  Sharing our adventures with everyone has been a pleasure, and while I welcome with open arms any new adventures...I find myself questioning the choices I am making, I guess everyone does that from time to time!

So, while I might be resistant to this big change upon us, I know in my heart that this glitch in our lives right now will be the beginning of something even greater and we'll be back to living our dream in no time, of that I am certain. We have committed ourselves to a life less ordinary, a life where adventure is the rule and not the exception.

For now, I am keeping my chin up!
