I have been having a great deal of dreams about my hometown lately. I don't know what it is all about, but it is a great deal better than the nightmares that I have been having for the past month due to percocet of which I have been taking after surgery.
I have been reconnecting with old friends via facebook and it has been wonderful.
I am from Savannah, Georgia, which is an absolutely beautiful city, but I never felt it was a place for the upwardly mobile. The glass ceiling is definitely visible. Therefore most of my friends moved away after high school and never returned. However I did return for a few years and never felt good about being there. I always felt stagnated. So I left again. Now that I am getting older I feel a pull back home. Maybe it is just that I have been reconnecting with those from home and miss the days long gone.
My parents are still in Savannah and they are getting older, so I am sure that the day will come when I will return, but it is not today. I am grateful that my parents are still in good health and doing well, as am I.
Maybe it is just time for an extended visit.
Where is home for you? Do you still feel connected? Why?

Home for me is a farm in Glenwood, GA and while I don't feel a pull to return to live (not yet anyway), I do feel that it's time for a visit to reconnect with family and the land I love so much.
Sounds like a great idea. I have been doing something similar with old friends from my childhood. Unfortunately I have to do it from afar. However, I appreciate just the same.
