☆ After 20 years, I moved from New York City to Florida. I like it, but moving south has been filled with surprises.

After living in New York City for 20 years, I moved to Florida, about 15 minutes from Disney World. I was born and raised in New York City, so I knew living in Florida would be very different. It's safe to say I was very startled by this animal I wasn't expecting to see run across the front of the hotel. The nearest grocery store, restaurant, bar, laundromat, nail salon, and hair salon in New York City were conveniently only a one-block walk from my house. That's not a super far distance, but it's so different from what I'm used to.

I don't think drinking takes away from a person's moral goodness. Even though some people may try to make me think again about my decision to stay completely sober, I'm not going to change my mind. I am content with the choices I make and feel that those who don't understand don't need to.
