Where home is has been on my mind now that we have decided to move across the globe. Is it where we store all our possessions? Is it an unwavering establishment? Is it our country of origin or culture we grew up in? Is it where we can take baths in drinkable water? Is it a particular political system? No, it cannot be any of those, because our next home will be our fifth in two years. And we are “selling it all” to raise the funds to get to a residence where the luxuries we once knew, will be no more.
Gideon, our son, lives in the moment. He babbles happily as we approach home; not knowing that this place will not be home in a couple weeks. He doesn’t know that we will be in Alaska May 23rd or California in June. He is not aware that his emotions will be affected by our move across the world. He only knows, in his 17 month mind, that home is just around the corner.
Bruce! I'm happy to following your journey. It sounds so exciting. I have a request - can you add the 'subscribe by email' widget? It's under 'popular gadgets' in the main feed. That will make it easier to tune in when you have a new post.
