I had a wonderful visit this week with my friends in Virginia Beach. There is something refreshing about familiarity even though when you are actually surrounded by all that you have ever known, you long for something new.. thats the irony of life i guess.

We talked from our hearts and shared our lives and dreams with each other and that was the best part of my trip. Being away from everyone who knows me inside - its hard to not be able to share yourself fully - so that was really nice. And ofcourse to be understood. We also went shopping and did fun things and i tried my maternal hand with Jonathan - 5 year old, with an 8 year old intellect and vocabulary! Its been a memorable time for me.

I am using this week to relax and just arrange my thoughts and just reflect on everything in life, i feel that it is so important not to allow our experiences to go by without being fully absorbed by them.

I have been asked this question alot lately - do i miss home...I think ultimately, as i prepare for my next road trip, for the next day in my life, in the unwritten page of tommorrow, i think that in some or other way i will always miss home, always miss those pieces of my history that make up who i am, but my heart is at peace here for how, i have found a temporary home in the newness and adventure of my current life.

There is only one thing missing... and i hope when that person reads this, they will know that i mean them...
