We go from the rocky coast, and green water....
To sandy beaches and blue water. I will miss the serene quiet, and familiarity. Being able to head out, knowing exactly where I am going. Being unafraid of where I may end up.
Maine people are a proud, tough bunch. They tend to keep to themselves, leary of strangers. Not to say they aren't friendly, but it takes them a while. It's a very old fashioned kind of place, where most people don't bother to lock their doors, or they leave the keys in their ignition. It's a safe place for kids to grow up and just be kids.
I truly won't miss the cold weather... yet cannot imagine a Christmas that isn't white, or a fall wihout the vibrant, intoxicating color.
Sometimes though, life calls us in new directions. With adventures yet to unfold. He offers up his life for our greater good, and my heart follows his as I offer my life to him in return. Who knows where we'll end up... or what bridges we will cross... but together, I cannot wait to find out! There is no doubt that I will miss my hometown, but as the saying goes...
Home is where the heart is.
