Made it!
I made it to my new destination. It was quite the long drive but I enjoyed it. I went to visit my parent in Nashville for a day and then headed the rest of the way to Kingston NY. I was pretty impressed that Hunka Hunka Junka (my car) only had one big issue. I was about 180 miles outside of Kingston and I blew a fuse and lost my tail lights. It was late at night so I had to pull over and stay in a hotel til daylight hours. This of course made the next day really long. I got to my new place unpacked the babies and my Harley and then rushed into town to get my lights fixed and then started my internship. I am really excited about this new adventure. The town is nice and the scenery is great. The internship will be quite fun and I hope to make a difference. Everyone is so polite and it puts my mind at ease. I have only been here for 26 hours but it feels like home. I can't wait to see what the next 4 months bring.
Things I learned on my first day here in NY.
My nutritionist gave me a box to put in different things I will need to bring with me on my new adventure. We wrote words like independence, strength, compassion and so on. Yesterday I definitely thought about those words when I arrived.
First I had to figure out how in the world I was going to get my Harley off the trailer by myself. (first time) With snow all around I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it. So instead of sitting there telling myself I can't do it, I just did it. I used independence and was so proud of myself after the fact. I thought for sure it would take hours to figure it out but I made a plan how it was going to work and where I was putting the bike and trailer. I pumped myself up and just did it. And I accomplished it without dumping the bike or slipping at all. I even parked the trailer. Woohoo!!
Second I had to be confident in myself when I went into my internship for the first day. I felt at ease when I walked in and I believed that I could give important information to the group. So I wasn't afraid to speak up and say what I thought. Such a huge change from the me of a few years ago.
Today I am here at the library to use the internet and unloading the car and unpacking.
Life is good and getting better!
