Acceptance

Hello all my Memphis friends and family!! 


I hope ya'll have been enjoying cooler weather! We sure have! 


I have come to a conclusion. In the dictionary the word acceptance has three different meanings but the one that I love is agreement with or belief in an idea, opinion, or explanation. People tell me all the time to accept but what do they really mean? Will I ever be able to truly accept the reality of no longer living in Memphis? Will I 100% accept this move? I honestly don't have an answer for that but I have come to the conclusion that accepting doesn't just mean moving on it is greater than that. It means that you have come to terms with the fact that you may never fully accept your new reality. There was something special with Memphis. I felt so loved and wanted there. Yes, the humidity made your hair a big frizz ball but the BBQ totally made up for it. I miss Memphis everyday, even on my best days. I have accepted that my new reality will consist of me always missing Memphis and the wonderful southern people living there. Acceptance doesn't mean I have to forget about my past, but it means accepting the new life I have been handed. It is a hard thing to do, accept, but it isn't impossible. 


I will always be a Kansas girl by blood but I am a Memphis girl by heart and will always be a Memphis girl. I love Memphis everyday. I am learning to accept the fact that everyday I will miss Memphis!!


Miss ya'll!! :)
