Homesick

Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.  ~John Ed Pearce


So today, actually all week I have been feeling a little homesick.That may sound funny to people who know that I grew up ALL OVER the place ...
I was born in Yorkshire ....
Lived in sunny California...

I even survived lived in Montreal ...

Lived in beautiful Cornwall....
And ended up in the earthly equivalent of Hell Texas!

With temperatures in the upper 90's and low 100's for the past two weeks, no rain since the monsoon monster storms that hammered us before that who wouldn't want to escape vacation in more refreshing climates?!

But where is home???
I've moved so much that I'm not really sure anymore. I can think of things I miss from just about everywhere. (Maybe not so much from Texas but I'm sure I could come up with something if I really thought about it)

I miss my family in Yorkshire, riding on the moors, going to York to walk around and shop see the historical sights, I miss Sherwood Forest and how green everything is!
I miss the beautiful beaches and laid back lifestyle of Cornwall, I miss walking along the cliff paths and riding around the mine and castle ruins...



I miss my friends in California, I miss being able to drive to the mountains, the beach, the desert, wine country all within the same day!

Which leads me to the conclusion that what I really miss isn't the geographical locations, it's how I felt when I was there. I miss the parts of myself that I've lost sight of in the rush of the everyday.

I MISS BEING ME!!



I WILL REMEMBER WHO I AM AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ME <3
