My Hometown

i live about 40 mins from my hometown

that is not far at all

considering i drive 45-50 mins

the other way to work

but yet it always seems too far

for me to just pick up and drive to

go visit friends

go visit family

go to zumba classes

go to dinner

but when i finally do 

i get this amazing feeling

as i drive thru all the familiar towns on the way

and pass by old friends houses

old "stomping grounds"

and local businesses

for people that have never left probably are thinking

this girl is crazy

that i may be but it never changes that old feeling

so last night i was sitting at home

hubs looked at me and said

"when was the last time you just went to stay at your moms, no plans, just went"

FOREVER it seems

so i packed up and went to stay at my moms

as i drove into town

  a song came on the radio that made me reminisce even more

made me realize

no matter how far away you get and wherever your life takes you

home really is where the heart is
