I'm homesick today.

Homesick for Texas. Homesick for Tennessee.

In the Metro Detroit area today it is about 32 degrees and really pretty mild. There isn't a lot of wind and I'm not even wearing a big coat. After our trip to Traverse City a couple of weekends ago, there's no denying that Michigan is a beautiful state.....in some places, anyway.

But it's not home.

Its hard to really put into words what it is that I miss so much. I totally miss the mountains in TN. I miss the true sense of seasons rather than an extended winter and three shortened seasons in between. I miss the hills and the valleys and the relatively smooth roads (GOOD LORD can you say potholes???). I miss the feeling of knowing that no matter which direction you go it's going to be a beautiful drive.

But mostly I just miss that feeling that you're where you're supposed to be. I feel displaced and out of sorts. I know know how to get around but I don't CARE where I'm going. For some reason, where I am at now means nothing at all to me.....and I don't like that feeling.

Life is too short to feel this way. Hopefully this sadness will move along soon and I'll feel some sense of normalcy again, but for now.....I'm homesick.
