I can ...Thanks for this honest and heart-felt post.<br />I can really relate. I tend to get nostalgic for the past or fantasize about the future, and sometime neglect the beauty and blessings of the moment. Going into nature usually helps ground me in the moment.<br />I think it's great that you blog, so that you have an outlet for these thoughts and reflections. <br />I've been wondering now for a while if or when Noah will get a little brother or sister. :)<br />Sending you love and a little water to fill that half-empty glass,<br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13347524768245781298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158219585502141716.post-5914571588733527462011-05-24T21:05:02.714-07:002011-05-24T21:05:02.714-07:00Whenever we run into people who spent time in the ...Whenever we run into people who spent time in the north and are now living in the south they always say their time up here was some of the most memorable in their lives.<br /><br />Definitely try to make the most of your time up here.

I constantly count the hours, days, months, until I get to the point where I yearned to be, only to begin counting again towards something else. I like your stepmothers attitude and plan to adopt that into my life a little more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557323538716002272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158219585502141716.post-73540610164860602802011-05-24T18:18:55.092-07:002011-05-24T18:18:55.092-07:00This is a really honest post, and so I love it!

I firmly believe in what your stepmother says: that in order to appreciate the highs in life, you have to know the lows.Sarah Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867753448958627015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158219585502141716.post-66247156578491250782011-05-24T17:46:49.157-07:002011-05-24T17:46:49.157-07:00Love the purple toes!

You'll have so many delicious things to eat this summer! <br /><br />As for the east coast, I feel that same heartache and pain that you do, and it hits me just the same...when I least expect it. Sometimes if takes days for the feeling to subside, but for me...that feeling never goes away. It's just such a huge part of who I am...Some days it makes me really sad, and I sometimes just wish I could forget and move on. But I can't...<br /><br />All Maritimers (whether by birth or adopted), yearn for that familiar place we call "home". As comfy as we may get elsewhere, as good as some days may be, and as thankful as we may be for the gift of the present, it's just never the same. I really hope you get the opportunity to go East on your next posting!! How awesome would that be!! I also hope that I'll see you there eventually. It's our dream to get back there, too. Chin up, and just know that you're not alone! :)Coraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268982474178723429noreply@blogger.com
