Ok, maybe they are not so deep but they are mine.

Home is where MY heart is....


I've heard it before, we all have... "Home is Where the Heart is." What exactly does it mean? I guess it is up to the interpreter because for years I thought it meant one thing, but now... I completely understand what it means and its different then I thought. How did I get to this epiphany? I felt homesick for a year, at least. All because, my heart has been absent. I realize now that home does not have to be your living quarters, place of residency or dwelling, whatever you choose to call it. I live in a place that is NOT my home. Don't get me wrong, all of my stuff is here, even Joey Bag O' Donuts (which is the one thing that makes it feel enough like home to keep me here) but it's just not home. And I'm not just talking about this condo, I'm talking this city, this state, my state of mind! Now I'm done.... I am ready to go home.

So raise your glass (if your reading my blog I'm pretty sure I know who you are and the chances of you having a drink in your hand is good) to me finally having the guts to follow my heart home. To be with the most amazing person, who has given my heart a safe place to go. To have my family with me, old and new. To sunshine, baseball games, and lazy days on the couch with the air conditioner cranked!

Dorothy was right.... "there's no place like home!" Cheers!!!

Awe honey - you covered it all didn't you? First, yes you do know us all, we either have drink or had one :D; Second, we all know exactly where you are right now no matter where you are physically (just a few more weeks until you can refuel); Third, is it possible for a person to be so in tune with who they are considering all of the character building experiences you have been through in the past year? No, I think not, we (collectively all of us with a drink in our hands) are all looking up to you and thinking how amazing you for figuring something out it takes the rest of us a lifetime to figure out...if we are every lucky enough to stumble on.... I personally am EXTREMELY thankful you took the time and effort to let me in. Quite an amazing person you are (don't I sound like Yoda?) I'm fortunate to call you my friend. :)
