Michigan has beaches galore and lots of water. I tell Floridians and Arizonans that the future is Michigan, a blessed fertile land that doesn't turn to dust, need a/c 6 months of the year, and isn't slowly sinking into the sea.
And you have cherries!
I grew up in the Grey Lakes (not a misspelling). I considered May to be spring. March was mud, April too chill.
I've threatened to move to Eastern Montana for the sunshine; but, moving...
A vacation may be a good idea. When can you get away for a week or two? And where would you go in your dreams? (reality usually means a compromise)
For others this is the first day of spring; but, for me, it's the first day of a new year. I face similar questions. Will I pick up the shards of a broken life or will I allow archeologists to ponder them centuries from now.
In any case going back isn't an option. The places may still exist and even some people may still be there; but, I've changed.
You know the options! The right one? That depends on the two individuals and the circumstances. But even that ... making a "mistake' isn't the worse thing in the world. I'm still learning and I'm a lot older than you.
Is it possible at my age to create a new dream? Or maybe it is time to realize that dreams can come and go at any age. I love that idea.
All I know is that for a couple years now I have been restless in my soul. It was something missing. I have been so preoccupied with business and being a good therapist. I forgot about what I needed.
It's time to go back. This time for all the right reasons. I am ready to explore what is left unsaid inside of me. I have more words to speak, more people to meet.
My desires are easy and they will happen. A little hard work, a few minutes put away just for me. I am going to be selfish and love every minute of it.
