I still consider Nashville home. Even though I haven't lived there in over 2 years. My friend Turtle Lady sent me pictures of my house there that she took on her way home from a hiking get together. She also had sent me a couple of pictures of friends at the get together. I am reminded that I have friends. I have a house/home. I have a sense of place. It is very far from where I am now, in time and geography. I am homesick. I had just made the decision to sell the house for whatever I can get for it and break at least even, which is more than many can do with houses these days. I bought it as a foreclosure, so I don't owe as much as some. Seeing it in the pictures, I want to go back and move back into it. I had come to the conclusion in looking back that buying that house was one huge mistake. Tonight, I want to hold it close and say "MINE!!!". I'm mixed up. A mess. I feel good about getting the dental work done, and paying down debt. The next thought is how the heck have I gotten so far away from everything that means so much to me????
i really hate moving... i can't begin to imagine what it's to move internationally. i hope the transition is smooth for you, and being back home settles things back where they need to be.
