I want a home life like Sunset magazine.
Beautiful house, beautiful garden, tasty, fresh food. Fun travel all over the West. Living in harmony with my local culture.
( The scene )
Oh, of course life's mundanities will go on. I'll still have a job--a fulfilling one, I hope--and I'll still be washing dishes and taking out the trash and fighting traffic and cleaning up cat barf and getting head colds. I'll still get angry about politics and injustice and people who judge me on how I look and teach their kids to be ignorant bullies. But if I have my anchors--my home bases--I'll handle all that so much better. I have a few of these--M, a degree of financial stability, some wonderful friends--but I just want more of the picture to come into focus, and I think that's a large part of why I'm doing this uprooting thing. I just couldn't have the life I wanted where we were before. I dearly hope we can find a home that helps us get there.
