Road Trip - New Orleans

It's always nice being back home. Seeing family. Remembering roots. Thinking about what other possibilities may have developed from different choices, lives lived differently. Appreciating where one is. Having left the geographic location of birth/family long ago, and having since lived in various locations that have served as "home" in a different sense, I am always left to wonder -- as I'm sure are many who are similarly situated in this modern mobile world -- how and where I fit into this place, these people, both of whom I do choose to assign meaning and value. A part of me does wish to stay here and be a contribution. Yet there is also the world calling, a world which I want to explore/travel and to which I also want to be a contribution.

Yes, being home is always nice. At the very least, it refreshes a sense of self which I choose to carry with me elsewhere.
