07-21-09: Lead Me To The Promise Land

Where is home? What is home? I feel parts of myself and my spirit
reside in at least two parts of this great country I live in. While my
heart lies in my birth city of Saginaw, MI, there is a lack of
opportunity/jobs. I know I personally have the resilience to make it
anywhere doing almost anything, but a place like Orlando, FL, I have
more of a chance of financial stability. I have eat friends in
Florida, but my closest friends are here or scattered acrossed the
States. I don't think I'll ever be able to let go of this part of my
life fully. I know many leave and don't even care to look back at what
our hometown has become. I still have a sense of loyalty to my
hometown and a feeling I am partly responsible to help bring it back
to life. Maybe someday.

In the meantime I'll continue to call the skies my highway home. As I
wait for my flight to depart the gorgeous Michigan summer day, I
reluctantly anticipate my return to horrid Florida summer humidity and
rain but look forward to furthering my journey of attaining my goal
one step at a time.
