So because of a feed on FB, I have now been pondering in my heart about where I feel most at Home. When I lived in TX and was like maybe five or six, One of my favorite country songs was "Home is Anywhere you lay your Heart." That struck a chord with my six year old soul and has been a lesser motto for my life. (Lesser meaning like on top ten list of personal mottos it might be an 8 or a 9) I think that more or less sums up how I feel about where I most feel at home. Only now my heart is not so content to be right where it is. It really wants to back where I can hop in my car and be in a new state in two hours. It wants to see my new niece more than maybe two or three times a year. Both it and I ache for autumn in New England.
But we also both whole heartedly agree that snow is an abomination that must not be suffered. So my mostly happy slightly melancholy fickle heart will make it's home here for just a little while longer. The Northwest has definitely got stuff. But is not where I grew up, I have no old favorite haunts here. So Home is here in me and I feel very homey there.
