Weight of Your World by Roo Panes. Not feeling your best...in a foreign country...can make you feel a little homesick from time to time. This song came on today and it made me miss you.
I miss the smell of fresh air...the feel of sunshine on my face...the sound of birds outside my window. I miss tea time at Peet's and gelato at Dolce and food – real honest to goodness food. I miss the smell of clean laundry, my lovely little shower, and the bottle of Crystal Geyser water that sits on my counter at home, beckoning to be drank. I miss the comfy white chair in my living room, binge watching Gilmore Girls, and a proper cup of tea...in a real tea cup. I miss the visits with my bestie, the laugh of my buddy, and the sight of my favorite smile peering around my office door.
I think there is truth in needing to be at home within ourselves...wherever we are. But I am a creature of comfort, a creature of habit, and a creature of simple pleasures...and today I miss my home. For now I will have to sustain myself on the memory of home – knowing that it is all still there, waiting for me to return. And THAT fills my heart with such gratitude...what a privilege to have such a lovely home to come home to.
