I was walking to the grocery store this morning when I heard my name. Looking over in that direction, I saw someone from church sitting at a table across the street waving to me. I waved and called back and then continued on my way, my step just a bit lighter and a smile on my face.
And then I thought back to the fundraiser the evening before and the conversations and laughter shared with good friends as we sat around the table after dinner strategizing about our silent auction bids.
And then I was reminded of the easy connections I started making at a writing workshop another friend had invited me to earlier in the week.
Then for a moment, doubts entered my mind as I contemplated whether I really wanted to start this process of building community all over again by moving to a new city. I feel like I have come so far in the last year that it would be very sad to leave it all. But I also recognize that it has only been a year and I was able to accomplish this much in that short of a time.
