Green Grass All Around

My life has been full of trying to remember new people, new jobs, new directions and new hotel room numbers. My head is spinning with new,new, new.

I suppose its no wonder that sitting here in a lovely hotel, after eating a fantastic dinner, that all I want is the comfort of the old.


That's what we get, we want change so desperately, we claw at that damn door until it opens, and then we sit on the other side wondering why we can't have the things we left behind too.

I am lucky, I get to live with one foot firmly rooted at home and one foot traveling throughout the US. A marriage of my favorite things.

But right now, when everything is moving at hyper speed and the closest thing to consistency is my hotel room and the closest thing I have to real time human connection is the daily note I receive from my housekeeper, well, I want to slow down.

I want to wake up next to the cute boy and not have to hop out of bed to hit the road, I want to spend a Tuesday night staving off the fall chill with a bonfire in a friend's yard.

I know... I know... I wanted this... I still want this... But it also makes me appreciate those that I love so much.

I can't wait to kiss the cute boy's face, squeeze my bestie's hand, laugh hysterically with the favorites and cuddle with my sweet pup.

Perhaps that's the lesson here, I wanted to leave it all behind, instead, I've come to appreciate it more and I still get to keep it.

Life is so very sweet.
