* for 11/29 – changed fb password and forgot to tell typepad again!
Tonight coming back to the Cape was sweet. The sights and sounds of this house that I truly, now, after one year of living here, represent home for me. I finally realize in my heart that NY is now just a place I visit family. My heart truly lives by the sea. When I drove in the driveway and hit the check in on Facebook, I automatically wrote “home!” instead of “back at cape”. That’s when it hit me, after 56 years of living in Amsterdam NY, it’s not “home” anymore. When we bought this house 8 years ago, I knew it was destined to be my home, but it was a long transition until it came out without thinking today on Facebook.
We grow, we change, we move on in this life, many times without even trying. This house owns my heart and the ocean in the distance, my soul. It truly is, for me, where heaven meets earth – my home.
And so, as another day goes by, I have found solace where I live, and….I have written.
oh i love this post!!! Tranquillity at its best 🙂
