This month was kind of hard. It’s been challenging in such similar yet new ways. I’ve been feeling homesick for my old neighborhood, living in Florence, and for a place that doesn’t even exist, all at the same time.
I’ve started working with a new treatment team and at the same time, had to let go of the most crucial therapy group I’ve been a part of. The fall is meant for new beginnings but it feels hard to embrace new things when old things are always looming in the rearview mirror.
Giovanni and I went to the Great Global Greyhound walk in Central Park and it was nice for him to meet other iggies for the first time! It was also great to meet other dog parents and talk to someone other than Giovanni! 😅
I am hoping that in the next few days of the new month, I can embrace the change and finally get back into a rhythm of things.
don’t forget to share what you’ve been up to this month in the comments below!
I’d love to hear what you’re currently loving!
