When you think of going on vacation or preparing to visit family in another sate, you are usually excited to go. You are excited to go back to a place you enjoy or to a place you have never been before. You are excited to visit family or friends. So, the departure is filled with excitement.

But sometimes in life, it is not always a joyful departure. Sometimes it’s bittersweet. That is where I am. The departure is bittersweet. So, what wisdom or insight do I have on how to leave when you wish you didn’t have to but, it’s necessary? It’s necessary for you mind and spirit and inevitably, your soul. It is necessary for your physical health. All I have to give to myself and anyone who may be feeling this is to do it anyway. Do it with the bittersweet. And try to focus on how much better, much sweeter your life will be later.
