From The Big Apple..........

It's been quite a while since I left my hometown. From The Big Apple to The Sunshine State is quite the drive.But no,  I didn't do that, but I'm sure it would be fun. So I've been living here in Florida for sometime now. It's been a journey.When I first moved from the Bronx, it was in the 80's. It was not my choice but my parent's choice. And being a kid, a young teen, I wondered and asked, why the move? why do I have to leave my school and friends? why do I have to leave all the things I know and I'm used to? Of course these questions I basically asked myself. And so starting over is hard at first, new place, new city , new people. But it gets better with time. Doesn't it seem as if so many people you know, anywhere, end up moving to Florida at some point?So as I mentioned before it's been quite a journey, I've moved a couple of times until finally landing here. I do plan to go back someday to the Bronx where I grew up. The question is only when will that be.There are so many memories, experiences and events throughout the years as I look and think back. It's great to reminisce as pictures flow through the mind from years before then fast forward to a different time, then rewind again to another time and treasure the moments.
