And while I'm philosophizing, my roommate asked me the other day if I was ready to go home. I thought about it for a sec and answered that I loved it here but I love my family too. But after I answered, I got to thinking. I reflected on the idea of homesickness and the sense of home. I've known for a long time that I don't get homesick. I like this about myself because I think it gives me the ability to enjoy the present and have fun traveling. I also don't have a real attachment to a house since I lived in a few that summer we added the 2nd floor. And moving to Texas helped too. My idea of home is where you family is, or the people you love and trust and genuinely care about. I enjoy the present because I love where I am and what I am doing. My whole life has pretty much been like that. So thank you to all those people who help me feel at home in Arizona, Texas, Utah, Florida, and everywhere else I spend my time. You make my life wonderful and happy. Now enough deep thinking, I'm going to bed. TTFN
