Be content while chasing your dreams

    Why is it human nature to want what we don't have and not realize how good things were when we had them? I feel like like I keep getting slapped in the face with this age old question. I can distinctly remember sitting in our old condo thinking I can't wait to be in the mountains... Don't get me wrong I am more than grateful to be in this special place. But I find myself missing the familiar more than I expected.


    Maybe its not always a bad thing to go through this yearning and grieving process. Now I hold tighter to what & those I cherish. I count my blessings twice over and ask to be aware of even the smallest. Mr. Battaglia and I spend much more time conversating our abundance rather than focusing on what we haven't accomplished yet. Our dreams lead us to the perpetual question, "What's next?" and while drive and motivation is something we once prayed for it's time for a dose of contentment.

    I know that within a few short weeks we will be headed south and this chapter will be coming to an end with bitter-sweetness. So I will be determined to cherish each day and continue to learn how to be in the moment!
