It’s nearly the end of July. I’m not saying this to depress
anyone. It’s real life, so get used to it.
Last week I felt like I finally had things figured out,
which sounds like good news; however, I soon after realized that the summer is
just about over. My nanny kids and I have been having a lot of fun getting to know
one another. We have been laughing a lot, even though we haven’t really been
doing a whole lot. I kind of enjoy our relaxed summer days that fill up quickly
with swimming, games, movies, and slushies. I really can’t believe that we only
have a few short weeks left together.
I am really feeling like I am in my element, which is great
because it has been a while. Exploring and familiarizing myself with Des Moines
has been a real treat. I can now say that I love every minute I spend here.
There has never been a time when I didn’t enjoy it here; however, lately I have
felt more comfortable as I make my own plans and meet new people. It’s a real
treat to explore the shops, markets, and immerse myself in various activities.
This is definitely where I am supposed to be.
As the school year approaches, I will begin a new journey. I
will have to familiarize myself with a new apartment, new commute, new
students, new, new, new…. Knowing how well I can adjust to these changes helps
settle my anxiety. While being able to worry less, I can enjoy more. I guess
I’m finally figuring out more than I thought.
