Longing list
Motto:
' ... And so much of my life has been about returning home and longing for home'
by Sela Ward
While away on my constant business trips, my longing takes many shapes and sizes:
- morning coffee standing in my kitchen
- watching the news in my favourite armchair while Peter makes his coffee
- listening to the radio on the way to work
- having lunch with my usual companions, chatting and having a lovely espresso at the end
- having a spontaneous meeting with a friend
- ironing while watching TV (strange but I like it!)
- talking with Peter, exchanging the news from the day
- cooking dinner
- reading in bed
Longing is also present in my life, since I miss my home in Romania as well
- my childhood room
- talking with mom
- watching TV with my granny and seeing how she dozes off!
- my flowers on the balcony
- seeing my friends
- my books
- just walking on the streets
- talk for hours on the phone, in Romanian :)
- watch mom while she cooks
- just absorb the atmosphere
In the end I agree with Milan Kundera who said: 'Happiness is the longing for repetition.' and oh boy! there are so many things to do when you are / feel at home!
