In Search of a Good Home...
It was hard to leave Portland yesterday. Not only did I get a marvelous acupuncture treatment from my friend Judy, I picked up some art supplies and books, ate fantastic Thai food, and got to spend some quality time with friends, one of whom is moving to NYC at the end of next month. And I ordered a new copy of the turtle qigong sitting meditation tape that accidentally got tossed out with the broken boom box.
But on the way home, I looked into the rearview mirror of the car and saw Mt. Hood silhouetted against the sunset. And I cried. Because I still love Portland and would love to move back there. And I can't. My sinuses plugged up around Hood River, and my nose ran the entire visit. If I hadn't been taking the steroidal inhalant, my lungs would have been in bad shape too. But it's still home in a way this place will never be.
Though this little house is definitely home. This sweet little house and the slowly beautifying yard. With my husband and beasties.
Hopefully we can find a new place someday that feels like home to both of us.
