Frozen

Holy moly, was it cold this morning! I thought my toes were going to fall off due to the fact they were frozen, haha! I have been told by the people who live here this weather is nothing, just wait until the "real winter" hits. What??? CRAP!!! I thought this was! I feel like I'm living in the Artic. On top of it being freezing cold outside, when the heater is on in my house it just escapes out the cracks of the windows so I think is it really helping? My poor baby, having not one ounce of fat on her tiny body begs me to warm her up. I tell my daughter to look at the big beautiful beach picture we have hanging on the wall and imagine ourselves being on that hot sandy beach just letting the sun kiss our skin all day long. I remind her that we will one day be back on that sandy beach again but this time it will be for good. Oh gosh, I miss HOME!!!

Learning to cope with changes

Learning to cope with everything changing in my life is challenging at times. I wish there really was a handbook on how life is supposed to go. You can only give it what you've got and hope for the best. One major change has been moving to South Carolina, what a slap in the face. Up here everything is different from the terrain to the weather to their southern food. I look out at the mountains and see their beauty but desperately miss my gorgeous beaches in Florida. The weather here is horrible but in this way, snow, sleet, black ice, freezing temperatures and thats just to name a few. Southern food is AMAZING but extremely rich and I've grown to like it, but my body doesn't. If it's one thing I've learned about LIFE, it's meaning is CHANGE.
