While I had fully thought that our out of state transition would now be complete, my situation finds me yet, sitting here in Idaho. While initially I had determined this to be a problem, it has been decided that it is truly a great transition point for my family in relocating to a mountain town.
Life in a resort area is a substantially different experience. I recently recall a midweek conversation with my now 7 year old son where he asked why all the people hadn't gone home yet so we could have the good McCall back. Translation, sign no. 1 that you are transitioning to mountain town life.
Sign no. 2 you are transitioning to a mountain town is geared much more toward the adults. In a recent trip to the valley, I felt as though I was buying everything at wholesale. Living in a resort town is somewhat like living in an airport at times.
Sign no. 3, and my most favorite, people have more time. More time for meaningful conversation, more time to listen, more time to put down the phone, computer and reflect on the meaning and purpose of life and more time with family.
What am I learning about patience? I value the little things I have and am learning, right now, in the moment!
Cheers
