It takes … maturity? courage? willpower?… not sure which, but it takes something to make the decision not to ‘go back’ – it’s hard for me to simply stay in Massachusetts for Christmas instead of returning to New Jersey to be with my parents. For the last two years, I say I’m going to stay here and I always chicken out a few days before the holiday and floor it 250 miles south.

I admire the way you welcome change and new adventures.

I hope you had a great holiday and will have a wonderful new year!
