I don't even think I was home for more than 30 hours. But I got to see my family on Christmas morning and hang out with some friends from high school that night. We went out to a bar expecting to see lots of people but my friend let me know that Christmas Eve is the new night to go out in Leesburg. Oh how things have changed.
Now that I'm back in Las Vegas for a couple of days before heading to Charlotte to spend New Year's with my college friends, I'm really wondering what's keeping me here. I can work back in Virginia or North Carolina for the same company I work for now, only in a community that I care about. I keep trying to remind myself of the idea that a place is only what you make it, but Vegas made itself up a long time ago and no one stays here long because of it. And I'm just one of those people waiting to leave at this point.
I'm hoping that when I get back to North Carolina I'll actually stay still for a little while. I'll figure out how to be in the present and know what I'm looking for. On the vision board at work I've got mountains in the backround and my goals are to open a store in Asheville and settle in there. To eventually become a yoga instructor and own my own studio. It's a peaceful life where I'm walking down the street with my children to get breakfast on a cold Saturday morning. And then I look at what I want to do before all that and think: I'm right where I need to be.
