Happy H-Day! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! It's another week full of fun for all of us participating in the A-to-Z Challenge. Make sure you check out all the other great entries.
Here is mine:
H is for Home
Since my husband and I were married 17 years ago we have lived in a number of different states, 7 to be specific. We've lived on the West coast, East coast, and the Mid-West; in the mountains, in the city and in the suburbs. Each one we have called home at least for a while. And though I naturally resist change, with each move, I felt we were getting closer to the "perfect" place for our little family.
Last year we had the opportunity to move yet again and live in the Pacific Northwest, a place that both my husband and I thought would be our little slice of heaven on Earth. Enchanted by Puget Sound, the northern rainforests, and the mountains we packed up and drove our little family of 5 across the country.
No sooner did we arrive in the gleaming city of Seattle and the idea of our little utopia began to crumble. We tried to make it work, but the longer we stayed, the more we realized that we had already lived in our "perfect" place and we had let it go. We had not appreciated all we had until we lost it.
We decided to pack up again and drive back across the country. Unbelievably, we were able to slip back into our old lives and return to our same jobs and our same house which had not sold. Surrealistically, it seemed like nothing had happened...except now we knew that we were home.
I wanted to share this song called Utopia by Within Temptation.
Hope you have a happy H- Day!
Kathy :)
