I wish it could always come as easily as this essay did...<BR/><BR/>lene--good to hear from you! It sounds like you've had an interesting journey through life. Actually, part of the period of moving around that I just skimmed over in this essay, we bought a house right across the street from my parents, where I grew up! But that's another story.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1124115380524516212005-08-15T09:16:00.000-05:002005-08-15T09:16:00.000-05:00wow, great story deb! just beautiful. happy birthd...wow, great story deb! just beautiful. happy birthday to your little one, and congratulations on coming to what is important in life. <BR/><BR/>it's good to know that if you can recognize those things that are important, you can also achieve them. i think katie and i have an idea of what we want, but of course are a little afraid that we won't ever get there... which is why i love your blog so much. it gives me hope.<BR/><BR/>all the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1124113509391247872005-08-15T08:45:00.000-05:002005-08-15T08:45:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday to both of you!I love to read about...Happy Birthday to both of you!<BR/><BR/>I love to read about people finding their own patch of land and sinking roots. North America would be a more "grounded" society if folks would decide to enter into relationship with the land and recognize the back-and-forth cycle of tending and provision. Hats off to you and your lovely family.Madcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966173518099250557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1123988303375354032005-08-13T21:58:00.000-05:002005-08-13T21:58:00.000-05:00Deb,We bought our place when we were hundreds of m...Deb,<BR/>We bought our place when we were hundreds of miles away without a clue as to how we would get here. We just knew this would be it someday. A baby, a career change, and within two years we were here to stay. Now I can't imagine living anywhere else. <BR/>Beautiful essay by the way and happy birthday to your daughter.<BR/>Take care.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1123934980772585302005-08-13T07:09:00.000-05:002005-08-13T07:09:00.000-05:00Wow, Deb. That's amazing. Life is so interesting...Wow, Deb. That's amazing. Life is so interesting. While I didn't have the same sense of "coming back" as you did, I have a similar story of starting somewhere and ending back up there, or at least close by. <BR/><BR/>I spent a couple of years in a town outside of San Antonio through part of my undergrad work. While I don't talk much about politics on my blog, Texas was just not home in the sense of community. <BR/><BR/>When I went to Santa Cruz, CA for a conference about pesticides, I fell in love with everything about it, went home, sold my stuff, and moved two weeks later. As I drove away in the Ryder truck, I knew I'd never move back to the Lone Star State.<BR/><BR/>After I got to California, I met and married. We moved to Colorado, and then, amazingly, back to Texas. We ended up buying the house next door to the one I rented while in college, and by that time, my old landlord had moved in the place I lived before. There's nothing like moving to CA, CO, and then back to the house next door. :)<BR/><BR/>Well, anyway, I always enjoy coming over to your blog, Deb. Congratulations on finding "home." So many of us never do.Lené Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10018280698586741856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1123881894248647772005-08-12T16:24:00.000-05:002005-08-12T16:24:00.000-05:00Perfect.Perfect.Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.com
