In a week's time Christmas 2010 will be past. All our running around, planning, cooking, baking, and wrapping will be over, and then the days of returning will begin. The Holiday's for me are different this year. I live alone now but will be leaving tomorrow to visit family. I'm looking forward to spending time with people I love and who love me, but this year it just doesn't feel the same. This is a time for love, isn't it? I write it, but I don't necessarily live it--anymore. My imagination still lives in a world of love and for a world filled with love.
What will 2011 bring? This year my life will take on many changes. Retirement from my day job is in my thoughts. Living in an area away from family is getting rough and I find myself homesick quite often. I have work friends and a few close friends I've made in the past six and a half years of being on this side of the state. But, it's not home. I have a safe haven and a good place to live, but it's not home. So, that means it's possible another move will be in my future. I'm tired of moving. I want to go home. See, homesick sneaks out sometimes. After being with family for over a week, I will be rejuvenated and ready to come back and start the new year. And, back to doing what I love--writing.
I wish you all a very happy holiday to celebrate in which ever way your do. Enjoy each day with your family and friends.
