A life that stagnates and settles is never the kind of life I want, but that doesn’t mean change doesn’t terrify me and make me uncomfortable. That said… I’m dealing with a couple of big changes right now.

1. I’ve moved in with my boyfriend. I have lived alone for more than 10 years and I have never lived with anyone I’ve dated before. It’s a big change and it doesn’t matter that we were already practically living together before. I still had my space. I almost have that again as my office at his house is almost complete, but it’s different. It’s taken a lot of adjusting, a lot of patience and a bunch of tears, but I’m beginning to feel like there’s a light at the end of this chaotic tunnel.
2. I’m starting to get back into personal training again. I’ve been removed from lifting seriously for more than five years and I really miss my muscles. I miss my confidence. I’m tired of saying, “I miss…” and, “I wish…” It’s time to take action, and so I have an appointment with a new trainer on Friday. It’s time to check the ego, stop being nostalgic and start all over again.

One changes always leads to another, so I’m sure I’ll be dealing with more in the near future.
