I've been thinking a lot about feeling "Home sick". Whenever I get these feelings, I realize I have little places throughout Utah that help me chase away these negative emotions.
First: Borders! By far one of my favorite places to go when I need peace of mind. I love getting my Chi tea and walking up and down the aisles. I love grabbing random books about ghost ships or the making of the star wars movies. I love seeing friends anxiously engaged in conversation over a cup of coffee. Or the man sitting in the corner enthralled with his laptop. I call Borders my place of peace.
Second: The house of the family I nanny for. Whether or not the kids are there, I see the drawing on the fridge and the toys on the floor and I can hear their voices. They bring me happiness. I love the comfort of knowing that it is a place I can find refuge in. A place where I am loved and seen as the world in the eyes of three small children.
Third: The Spa! Enough said!
Fourth: The gym... even though I haven't been in months I remember how good it felt pushing myself and seeing the results.
Finally: My own home... being with my family. There isn't anything that can top that. It is my sanctuary!

Everyday we go through life involved in our own worlds. We spend countless amount of hours figuring out the best solutions for the problems in our lives. Very seldom do we step out of our element and lend a helping hand, a kind gesture even a hello to a stranger passing by. I am one of these people guilty as charged. This is my attempt to break out of this mindset and open up my world to those around me.

I am at Borders more than my own home. Sometimes people try and sit on me because think I'm one of the permanent fixtures, truth. And I remember when I first discovered your love affair with Ghost Ships.
