What The Heck Are You Thinking?

Embarking on this relocation rollercoaster has turned into a stand-up comedy routine. “So, you really think you’re the first one to hit me with that question?” I tease, realizing my move has become a hot topic. It seems like everyone, especially my Florida buddies, can’t fathom why I’d willingly trade swaying palms for snowflakes. And don’t get me started on my northern pals – their envy is practically a weather forecast.

Picture this: Floridians, wide-eyed and puzzled, asking, “Why go north, where it’s cold?” Cue my well-rehearsed spiel about the magic of seasons and the thrill of winter wonderlands. It’s like explaining the latest tech gadget to your grandma – you can see the confusion but also a glimmer of curiosity.

Now, when the northern crew hears about my southern escapade, it’s a different scene. Their eyes roll, and a dramatic sigh precedes, “You’re heading here while I’m dreaming of being there!” Oh, the grass is always greener, and apparently, it’s sunnier down south.


In the grand scheme, this transition from the steamy hot tropics of the south to the winter wonderland of the north represents a unique chapter in life, one with captivating scenery. It’s about rediscovering the delight in spontaneity, immersing oneself in in my dreams, and striking a harmonious balance between familiar routines and the excitement of the unknown. So, the next time someone poses the question, “Why would you do that?” I’ll respond with a chuckle and a smile and try to let them know that this is more than just a relocation; it’s the pursuit of finding happiness and manifesting a dream.  Stay tuned!
