Lately I have been struggling with where I want to call home. The options are endless and include leaving the country. There is a huge part of me that wants to pick up and leave, get to another coast or cross a border to start a new. Will my troubles just follow me there or will a new scenery refresh my life and let me clear my head and rebuild my life? I struggle with these questions daily, just as I come close to packing up my car with my sights set on no destination, just roads to explore to find someplace to call home.
I keep coming back to these lyrics from a Bob Dylan song, It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue…
“Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you…
Strike another match, go start a new…”
More and more I am leaning towards searching for a new place to call home. Until then I will try and recall why I fell in love with Providence to begin with. It will make my stay here a little sweeter.
happy thursday.

Jerry,
I have had a lot of personal upheaval lately that I hadn’t mentioned on my blog. I do fancy getting in some traveling and seeing the country. Maybe I will find myself in Arizona one day.
I haven’t read one of your blogs in a long time so I don’t know the reason for the season of your discontent but they do come in one’s life. Think about coming to Cave Creek, AZ, it’s a real change up from Providence, RI. May be better or may be worse but you never know until you try and is it ever a change from the East!
Best wishes for you coming journey. Jerry
