I was watching television last night and a commercial came on that caught my attention.  It was an Allstate Good Life Anthem commercial and the messaging just toally moved me.  Maybe you have seen it?  The focus centers around their "Good Hands for the Good Life" idea and it amplifies the things in life that make it good (even though there is a risk for bad).  It's like seeing the glass half full instead of half empty and it added a pinch of positivity to my day.  Recognizing triumph over adversity and celebrating life.  What a great message!

As many of you know last year we made a huge move out of state. Having lived in Georgia the past 11 years we decided to move to Florida.  Although I had lived in Florida in the past my husband was born and raised in/around Atlanta and this was a big move for our family.  We made a lot of sacrifices to do it too.  We gave up our jobs and we sold a lot of our personal belongs to make the trip a bit more manageable.  We even got rid of one of our vehicles.  In the end we packed everything up on a truck and trailer and headed down to the Sunshine State to start from scratch.

Those scarey times always seem so much more scarier when you are in the moment.  If it had not been for that one thing that made us decide to get out of Georgia we would never have made the awesome connections we have made here in Florida.  We wouldn't have our awesome garden.  We wouldn't have had our small homestead filled with silly rabbits and fun chickens.  We wouldn't have this lifestyle that I've grown to LOVE!  

Making the move to Florida has enabled me to live the Good Life!  I wake up and know that we made the right decision moving.  Just like the video from Allstate pointed out, just because things could end up poorly it doesn't mean they will.
