Photo Friday: Going Home

Tomorrow I leave for a week-long vacation in New York. We fly into Albany and will spend a few days in the Adirondack Mountains (my favorite place in the world), then a day trip to New York City (including Yankee Stadium) and then spend the rest of the week lounging and visiting friends in the small town where I grew up.

This is a photo of a clock in Grand Central Terminal in New York City, taken by my friend Alan last year. Though I'm not actually from New York City, I've spent a good deal of time working there and we will pass through Grand Central during our visit.

1:36pm. That's the time showing on the clock. It's also about the time that tomorrow, I'll be pulling in to my parents' summer camp, the place where I spent every single summer as a teenager, the place I most love to visit and the place I most desire to take my kids. It's a beautiful place, a relaxing place, a place where my family and friends are near, my mind is calm and my heart is happy. We all need a place like that, whether it's a physical place or a place in our mind... a place we can call "home," a place where we can go when life gets too crazy, a place where there's nothing but love and calm and happiness. I wish for you this same kind of place.

Who says you can't go home again? Tomorrow, I'll do just that.

~*~*~ May you always remember to dance in the rain, and may you have plenty of ladybugs beside you! ~*~*~

Blessings,
Kat
