The sunny days here make life seem very surreal - the sky is so blue, the scenery is so striking and alive that I have a hard time reminding myself this is really my life! <br />It's the grey, dark days of winter that make me feel restless. I don't really think about moving back to the US, but I do get some sort of itch under my skin that makes me feel disconsolate, and I'm much more prone to homesickness for my family and 'familiar' things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02745422387278983524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-69233872701452090742014-08-29T21:01:03.304+02:002014-08-29T21:01:03.304+02:00Yes!

It takes so long to say something about when we get back home, because I have to clarify each time. We're only here for a few months, but I also go back and forth between "I could stay here forever" and "There's no place like home." http://www.gettosweden.blogspot.se/2014/08/my-ikea-kitchen.html Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802939970756018517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-20017066566431373572014-08-04T13:47:19.256+02:002014-08-04T13:47:19.256+02:00Glad I came across your blog.

We have moved 7 houses in 4 years of marriage, and lived in 4 cities across 3 countries. We love it here for now, but I long for a place where I can obsess over choosing wall colors, and where I can DIY my son's bedroom till kingdom come.. sigh Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-57634885352449681832014-05-29T06:32:39.699+02:002014-05-29T06:32:39.699+02:00Liebe Talley auch ich versuche gluecklich u.d zufr...Liebe Talley auch ich versuche gluecklich u.d zufrieden mit dem Jetzt zu sein, aber besonders an so 24 Stunden Regen Tagen wie gestern sindmeine Traeume fuer ein anderes Leben an einem anderen Ort sehr aktiv in meinem Kopf ♥Susannehttp://www.milas-deli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-25493302114210673162014-05-28T20:42:44.542+02:002014-05-28T20:42:44.542+02:00Nadine - glad to hear that you feel the same.

I do think it's inevitable to wonder when you'll end up back home, and where you might life when you do get back, and what your life might be like. I just need to work on being more present on those rainy grey days. Or at least find some good indoor play areas where i can have a coffee and Alice can play ;)talleyhttp://www.housetohaus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-52329314950403929082014-05-28T20:41:04.169+02:002014-05-28T20:41:04.169+02:00oh my goodness, 4 states in 2 years, that's a ...oh my goodness, 4 states in 2 years, that's a lot. I do think newness becomes a bit addicting, mostly in a good way. It's great to try new things while you're still up for it and before you know where your forever spot is. I need to remind myself that we don't know where we want to end up, so why not explore until we do. talleyhttp://www.housetohaus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-68951849110614944842014-05-28T20:39:43.156+02:002014-05-28T20:39:43.156+02:00Lisa - thanks for your thoughts.

Now I've been in the same city for 2 years and I'm itching for change. I recently got married and now I enjoy sitting with my husband and imaging the next place we could live. If only it could come about quicker!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717485156533712922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-44161792206885425732014-05-27T18:07:09.096+02:002014-05-27T18:07:09.096+02:00Oh my what gorgeous photographs!

I think it's important to find appreciation and comfort in where you are at the moment (which you're doing!) but also to allow yourself to entertain your dreams and all the possibilities out there!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
