"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." Melody Beatte
I have been thinking alot about why we moved to Reno in the first place. Reno has helped me grow up in many ways. Helping me learn what is important to me. Realizing what I had and left behind in Portland. "you never truly realize what you have until it is gone." is very true for me. I have learned how to be grateful for what I have. To love where I am inspite of all the negative. I have been working on seeking all the simple things to be grateful for. A wonderful husband, a funny, loyal puppy, strange cats, and even the few friends that are here.
There are many things I do here that I would never have done while in Oregon. In Oregon I was trapped inside myself. I hadn't completely come out of my shell. Speaking my mind was difficult because I hadn't allowed myself to truly decide what I think. Being here I have had to fin for myself more, which makes me be more myself. I speak my mind now, I allow myself to be silly with more people. My position I have at AmFam in itself is a good example of how I have grown. While I lived in portland having a job where I would go to different random offices full of people that I don't know. Now I do and am fine with it. I actually like it very much.
