I'm not talking those
cool eyeglasses
that turn darker to
meet the
sunshine-in-your-eyes
needs...
Nope, I'm talking
moving,
making new
friends,
worshiping in a new
church,
starting at a new
school,
finding a job,
buying a car,
getting the dog
settled...
...are you tired yet? I am.
...are you tired yet? I am.
Sure we are doing it
in
paradise but it is
still exhausting.
Moving from Colorado
was only cross-country but sometimes it feels like a foreign country.
Let me show you what I mean:
·
People
dress differently. "Palm Beach Casual" is not like any casual I've
ever experienced but I'm figuring it out.
Add some pink and green and you are really on it. Check out that cutie on the right. |

· You
can walk almost anywhere. (Not that people actually do it here, but you can.)
·
The
language is a bit different. Raise your hand if you know what these are: Jack Rogers,
feeder bands, clutch, spaghetti model.
Raise the other one if you know the difference between Sequin and Sprinkles.

I borrowed a little quote from a blogger (found here) who recently moved from the US to the UK. Do you think these phases are accurate?
Honeymoon
Phase – “Everything is new and interesting.”
Rejection
Phase – “Everything is new and sucks.”
Regression
Phase – “Everything back home was wonderful & much better than this.”
Recovery
Phase - “Everything is going to be okay and I am content.”
{It sounds very
similar to stages of grief...}
I don't think I could
say I'm in one specific phase but each day brings adventures and a variety of
feelings. Most days I lounge around in "Recovery" but occasionally I
need to visit one of the previous phases.
Isn't that just the
way life is...
See you soon, Eli
