Oh gosh, it’s good to be home!!! I just spent a full week at a conference, and my brain is about to explode with information. If you all could see the pages and pages and pages of notes I wrote that I now have the daunting task of applying to my life. It is a bit overwhelming, and I must admit that the last couple of days of the conference, I was feeling a bit homesick. I missed my kids and my husband and my freedom to wander streets in my car.
Don’t get me wrong, the conference was incredible in every single way. I will even go as far to say that in some respects it was life changing. That’s a pretty extraordinary gift to carry with me on my way in my familiar surroundings, but man – it just feels good to be home with my loved ones.
Here’s the thing though. This relief is so short lived. My husband leaves tomorrow for 10 days in Israel. We are two ships passing in the night, and I am feeling a strong need to be cozy and comfy with each other just for little longer.
It leads me to my song of the day (More like a song of the week lately — sorry blog readers!), which is one that is originally written buy John Denver. I love John Denver. He is the music of my childhood – the music all of us in our family could agree on when we went on road trips. In this case, however, I chose Dave Matthew’s version of the song, because he adds a bit of melancholy to it. I am trying to live in the moment today and absorb all of the wonderful positivity that came out of the conference, but the truth is, I am dreading my husband’s departure tomorrow. The song is called “Take Me To Tomorrow,” because that is exactly where I am at. My “tomorrow” is not the moment of his departure, but rather, it is the moment of his return when our family can be together again for awhile. I will finally breath that sigh of relief when he comes off the plane and shuts the front door once and for all. Oh please, just take me tomorrow.
