Connected from Coast to Coast

There are easy days and there are hard days. There are energetic days and there are sluggish days. There are happy days and there are sad days. It’s important to wake up with a fresh start and outlook no matter what the day before brought you because that day is in the past. Today is a brand new start. Don’t push things off until tomorrow because today is the only guaranteed chance we are gifted. Be grateful that in even the mundane and boring days, you show gratitude and appreciation for getting the chance to breathe fresh air into your lungs and experience the beauty all around you. Each second on this earth is a precious gift, and we are blessed to live in the present moment.

I came across the following passage on Instagram today, and it really resonated with me:

“I hope you wake up each day feeling hopeful and encouraged. I hope you wake up each day knowing that you’re so capable of every single thing you want to do, big or small. I hope you remember to think beyond your comfort zone from time to time and never forget the importance of growth. I hope you remember that growth isn’t always easy and sometimes the things that scare you will actually get you a lot closer to where you want to be. I hope you make the most of each day and know that you are worthy of the life you have been gifted, that you are worth of success, and deserve all the triumphs you’ve worked so hard for and all beautiful things coming your way.” – Charlotte Freeman

Living in a new state is exciting and is also taking some getting used to because all the familiarity from home is no longer in my reach. I am thriving in my new chapter in the sunshine state, and am embracing the change while formulating my own routine as I nestle in to this stunning coastal nook of Florida. I was telling a coworker of mine that I have visited the beach more times in the past month than probably my entire life living in New Hampshire due to how accessible it is. Pictured below is my complex’s pool. The palm trees and crystal blue water make it feel like paradise everyday.

Getting out of your comfort zone can be achieved in minor ways and in major ways. What better way to immerse yourself into brand new scenery than moving from the top of the east coast to the south of the east coast? I am beyond grateful that I get to be minutes away from the ocean and living with two of my best friends. There was a moment where I was sun tanning on the beach and reading a book while listening to the waves crashing along the coastline and I looked up. I panned my eyes and saw the sun setting in its golden hour, I felt the warm but cool ocean breeze trail over my skin, and I saw the palm trees ever so gently swaying. It was such a peaceful and calm setting. I took a moment to myself and was in awe as I thanked God for creating such beauty and gifting me the ability to live in this gorgeous town. This is a marvelous chapter that my friends and I will all cherish in the future, and I am soaking in every second of it. Each day spent working and studying is fueling my mind to motivate me in building the life I want for myself. It is a surreal and priceless feeling comparing where I was a year ago to where I am now. Continue to be present in all that you do because as you continue building up your life, there is beauty everywhere you turn to enjoy!

Remember to stay humble and kind, always!
