What I envy the most right now in my life it the people who I have met since moving here in Rochester that have been here forever. The ones who have established life long friendships. Who have immediate and extended family with in a few hours of here. Those are the lives that I envy.
Why you might ask? Well for the last 20 years of my life I have been the one living an exciting life, always on the go, traveling overseas life style. Now I'm in the process of settling down (if you will) and having to establish a more settled lifestyle. It's hard being the new kid on the block especially at my age. Not that I'm old.. but I'm older and I've had a lot of experiences than most.
I was a stay-at-home-mom for five of those years and getting involved was a lot easier. Now I work full time, take classes part time and transport kids to their activites. So establishing friendships have been rather difficult, not impossible, but difficult. It's a lonely season in my present life and that has been difficult to accept. Being busy is hard but I know in time I will have what all the other people around me have and that will be life long friendships. (I hope)
Provided I don't have to move again!!!!
