Beyond Cloud Nine
The other day we went to our favorite lake about 60 miles from home. We returned from a great day in the sun and water in the early evening. Just as we were coming through the Hellgate Canyon into the Missoula valley, I flashed back to other times when I had come back home from long trips away. Granted this was just a day trip, but as we came into the valley I remembered the feelings I had each time I would come back home, after being gone for weeks, or even months sometimes.
Trying to put it into words is hard; it’s an overwhelming feeling of security and comfort.
I love my hometown of Missoula. I was born here; I was raised here. Outside of a short stint in Iowa and another few months in North Carolina, I’ve lived my entire life here. It’s beautiful with a panoramic view of the mountains, but the surrounding mountains are not so close as to make you feel closed in here.
I’m happy and grateful that this place is my home. And while it’s great to travel and visit other places and go on adventures, this is home. A comforting sense of well-being enveloped me as we drove into town. I could feel that all was well. I have a fabulous life, an awesome relationship and I’m growing every day. Yup, life is good.
