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.

Oh Tiff, sorry you're homesick. I hope you get a chance to visit soon ... you're coming to TX soon, right? Hoping that'll make your heart feel better ;)
Hey Tiff - sorry you're feeling that way. I hate that empty feeling. I think I know what you're saying. The pics you sent me - where were they from? They have a new special place in my new house! Cheer up...spring should show itself soon...right? =]
Next time you're homesick...CALL ME!!!!!! I often feel the same way, and I would love to meet you for some hot chocolate or a yummy meal so we can cheer each other up.
