Over the past ten years...Great friends, indeed :-)<br /><br />Over the past ten years of both living abroad and moving every 15-24 months, I have come to see a basic truth. In this lifetime, we come close to feeling what "home" is, but we'll always be somewhat unsettled. This broken earth with it's pain and broken relationships was never meant to be "home" in the fullest expression. Our hearts are made for deeper relationship, wider embracing, and closer care of land and animals. I have to consciously choose to look forward, to live with the end in mind... not just as pie in the sky, master of my own destiny self-lies, but living with eternity in mind helps me be at peace with the present.<br /><br />Saying goodbye is always hard, you're right.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109615964419461588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-40533092249274285142015-09-29T17:02:44.055-05:002015-09-29T17:02:44.055-05:00I get both sides of this.

I am in the middle of an adventure and it has it's ups and downs, just like staying near home. It's scary and stressful. But I too, get bored with the routine of home. Staying home with kids, while so wonderful! I'm sure adds to the stuck feeling sometimes. It's hard to keep that balance. I'm really glad Ben is in a good place. I had to cancel Bode's first school venture to head west. Yup, pluses and minuses to each path we are on. I feel fortunate to try out new things but also long for the safety of home. I guess we never really know what will come tomorrow but adventuring with some control would be more enjoyable :) your lunchtime playground sounds fun, I wish we could join you. I know it is much harder in the winter but with layers, it's still doable some of the time.

I certainly haven't stopped reading). I know I'm in a somewhat different situation with family and kids and all that jazz...but I'm feeling it creep in as theo relentlessly approaches those school hood years. And I can't help but quiet all those ambitious desires to pack up and move. Pick another city and start all over. But HIS little life is starting and really taking form. And I know it's so good for him to thrive socially and find families to connect with. <br /><br />I'm a little all over the place here. The iPad typing does that to me. But bottom line, I'm feeling the dread of the colder -ber months too. It rained all day today and theo fought the nap and I threw my back out this morning, and it was a dreadful day, and it made me dread what's to come. <br /><br />Ugh. Yes to everything you wrote. Looking forward to more to come. Especially that piece for Claire!!Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06281894679573984580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-4474110386426393082015-09-28T22:28:12.985-05:002015-09-28T22:28:12.985-05:00california is calling 🏄🏼california is calling 🏄🏼Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808884896862082312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-71317393968505393232015-09-28T21:16:28.390-05:002015-09-28T21:16:28.390-05:00Here I feel I'm in the opposite boat.

I'm jealous of your stability in that regard and yet we will be moving every few years. <br /><br />Excited to see Claire's dresser! I have given zero thought to a big girl room.
