the start of something

We packed our bags and put all our faith into moving to a small seaside town. 

I am re-starting my business on the south coast of Western Australia and James has begun a new job in advertising. We knew nobody down here and nobody knew us, but we are getting there, meeting people, making those connections and friendships that may just blossom into something that could last beyond that first initial meet and greet. 

The people in this seaside town are more relaxed, they breathe easier. Maybe it's because they have less to focus on? Maybe it's because the beach is a maximum walk of 10 minutes from anywhere. 

All I know is that the people here seem to carry less weight on their shoulders. That was part of our reason for deciding to move, we wanted a lifestyle that offered us a slower pace, a more relaxed style of living. Mostly we wanted to appreciate and enjoy the smaller things.

So here we are, the beginning of something new.
