I moved into a two bedroom apartment with April in a neighborhood called, Lohi, or the lower highlands. I immediately have felt happier after making this move. I'm realizing that the transition from Chicago to a suburb of Denver was way too drastic of a change.
I'm now able to bike around on bike trails and in the city again and able to walk to yoga classes. I live by amazing restaurants and lots of places with happy hours. I am walking and/or biking distance from some of the coolest areas of the city. And I get to live with a friend, which is good for me right now because I did spend the last year missing Chicago and friends so much. I don't miss it as much now that I'm back in the energy of a city. I can't wait to explore everywhere.
Today was our first day back at work for this school year. The summer always flies by so fast, especially when you have epic experiences. I got to see Alaska, Ireland, hike a ton, and move to my dream neighborhood. Every school year I get anxious and nervous that I'm not up for the job, or that I've forgotten everything I know about how to do it. I fear not being good enough. Hopefully once I get back in the swing of things, that will fade. I hope by relying on the support of some great team members, I can handle some of the things that tend to give me the most challenges. Can't believe it's year five as a school psychologist already. Guess we gotta go ahead and do this thing. I'm already planning my next adventure.
