I miss Gettysburg

You know how smell, weather, and music can jolt you right into a memory without any warning? This has been happening to me lately. I guess you can say that I really do like the momentary nostalgic memory but then I am left with a sense of longing for what I am remembering. I have been missing home lately, just the comfort of being a familiar place, doing the traditional things that is done throughout the year. Like having picnics, swimming late at night, building fire pits and making s'mores, jumping on the trampoline and taking random pictures. I know I am looking back at those day's as if they are the good ol' days but in all reality I will soon be looking back at these days I am in (going to college, living in a tiny apartment, kid free, making ends meet) and will think these are the good ol' days. I always want to be somewhere I'm not at. I am going to try to live now and not in the past or the future. What a hard thing to do!

I like the season of my life I am in right now.

  1. I know what you mean, Tor. I feel like I'm always begging for the next phase of my life, but the truth is that there really haven't been many bad ones. I need to enjoy them as they come!

  2. It is a very hard thing to do. When you were little, I couldn't wait till you walked, couldn't wait for this and for that, and now that you are all grown up, I wish so much that you were my little girl again. Running around hiding candy, pretending it was falling from the sky. Oh how I miss those days. I love reading what you write honey. I miss you so much and love you more.
