Is This Home?
Kelly and I have been back at our home in Colorado for a day and a half now. We're caught up in unpacking, sorting through things, putting our three well-fed pets on a diet, and so on.
Despite all the chores, it feels great to be back and to begin catching up with our lives here.
But is this home? What has Mexico done to us?
On our way north, we stopped in Albuquerque at a huge shopping mall where we had a great time looking at some of the new camcorders and buying some books in English. In the midst of it all, Kelly said, "I'm homesick for Mexico." I immediately knew why he said that just then. Where was the liveliness?
My father traveled world-wide a great deal all his life, and he would say sometimes that at any given moment he could be homesick for two or three other places.
I know the feeling!

That's a great observation of your Father.
I know the feeling.
I even get that feeling about different
parts of this large city London where I've lived most of my life.
Those nostalgic forces help to keep our compasses pointing straight and get our asses moving when the time is right.
