I daydreamed about getting out of Standish.
The reality is that I’ll miss the local restaurants, and walking trails.
I daydreamed about peeling out of my office parking lot, while cranking Bon Jovi’s “Have A Nice Day” on my last day of work.
The reality is that I’ll miss everyone, and that I’ve been tearing up a little while saying some goodbyes.
I daydreamed about living close to my mother-in-law, especially since I’m not too close to most of the family members I live near now.
The reality is that I’m still happy about living with my mother-in-law, but I’m finding that some goodbyes are hard. Especially with elderly relatives that I might very likely never see again.
We daydreamed about moving to Wilmington on June 30th, taking the summer off, and going on an RV trip across the country with my mother-in-law. That has become a reality, and the happiness that reality will bring us far outweighs any hard goodbyes.
Change – it’s a double sided coin, isn’t it? Wishing you a happy last week in Standish and a move to Wilmington that brings you both joy!

No matter what, good-byes usually are hard – I felt similar when I switched jobs a couple of years ago; even though I was more than ready for a new job, and not happy anymore in my old one, saying good-bye was hard.
Soak up Standish in you last week there, and then have the best of fun on your roadtrip (I’m really jealous about that 😉 )!

How exciting! RVing would be so fun! At least the dream seems fun. Be sure to tell me if the reality is not!
