As I reside in limbo between Boston and New York, I have a newfound appreciation for my home town of Wareham. I’ve rarely noticed Wareham's serenity but that’s probably because I was too busy living in a state of ignorant adolescents or corporate chaos.
As a working accounting professional, my days became as repetitive as a ticking grandfather clock and I found myself in a chronic state of emptiness. As contradicting as this will sound, it was also a fast paced phenomenon and my youth was flashing before my eyes. I had to slow it down or at least change it up.
How could I do this? Do I need a new job, a new apartment, a man? The thought of needing a man to make me feel alive goes against everything I’ve built for my life. I’m a single lady and my happiness is up to me. So what’s left? A new accounting job and/or apartment? Could that help? Maybe… I began searching but was left emptier than when I began. Then it became so simple. Look inside. Food. Clarity. Happiness. There it was and here I am. It took three years to get here but I am eternally grateful to be here.
Ironically enough, here is where I began. Wareham! …at least for the next few weeks. This time I’m taking advantage of every spark of beauty this town has to offer, before I leave it again.
Wareham, Massachusetts is a beach town. Early September is one of my favorite beach times of the year. I am absolutely a beach girl so naturally, I migrate to the water.
It's a beautiful morning.
Clearly, many thoughts went through my mind as I spent a morning reflecting by the ocean. I am thankful to be alive. Today is the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001. A day that will forever be ingrained in our hearts as the day America chose life over death. United we rose above the terror and looked to the future of our country and our people. I dedicate this post to USA because it has given me the opportunity to be free and pursue happiness, to do with my life as I chose. Thank you to all the past, present, and future citizens who refuse to stand for anything less.
