Begin Week 3

So after 2 weeks of crying (well, not entirely...I didn't cry last Tuesday) I have made up my mind that I chose this path and I am going to make the most of it. I'm a girl that loves a good party, but the 2 week long pity party had to end. As the saying goes, "put on your big girl panties...". So I did. After a 14 day stand off with myself, and really anyone and everyone that represented this so called new life, I decided to stop with the tears and shut the hell up! I have already made new friends, reconnected with old ones, made some good business contacts, joined a gym and, for the first time ever, joined an "official" running group. Oh, and I happen to be in love with a really great guy that simply wants to make me happy. All in all, not so bad. Sure, I miss my friends and my family. Absolutely I will miss 300 days of sunshine and geographically located within driving distance of everything I love to do...okay so I'm really just referring to the wine country...but still...I vow right here, right now, that from now on "feeling Minnesota" will be honest to goodness joy.
