Farewell Buffalo

I made a little video to bid adieu to the city I grew up in.

Goodbye Buffalo

I'm sad to be leaving- but I'm so excited to be embarking on a new chapter of my life, I can hardly contain myself.

At the beginning of this year I made a promise to myself. (Call it a resolution?) I wanted more than anything to change my life for the better. I wanted to get my health in order. Get my diabetes under control, get my thyroid properly treated, exercise more, eat better. Now that I have those things on the right track- I can focus on my personal life. I want to be a better daughter, a better sister, a better friend. I can't change any of the past- but what I can do is change my attitude, and change how I approach the future.

David Sedaris wrote about how he was told to quit smoking he needed to change his entire environment- move away, or redecorate. So he moved to Japan. Well, I don't need to quit smoking, but I want a fresh start. North Carolina is my blank slate, mostly. I started changing in Buffalo- and those small changes I made in Buffalo I need to hold onto here- and I need to build on them. I'm excited. I'm ready to build on what I've started.
