A Lament

Some days it seems so strange that we just packed and left our life and community to come to this remote village in the mountains, which has become our home for the last year. Today is one of those days where I long to run around town, stop somewhere for coffee with a friend, call someone on the phone, go see a movie or go to the farm for fresh veggies. It doesn’t happen very often that I get this lonely, but today has been one of those days where I am missing all that Tacoma had to offer with good friends and familiar places, and the freedom to get in the car and go. I am wanting sushi, or Indian, or Vietnamese food, and I am wanting to be with someone who knows me inside and out, past present and potential and loves me anyway. It takes longer than a year to dive deeply into friendships and I miss being with people my age who are trying to figure out the life, marriage, and family thing. I love this village, but I am missing all of you who made up our daily home in Tacoma for so many years. That is enough lamenting, but I do miss you!
