Open and See

I miss those plains. I miss the rolling hills and the clear blue sky.

I miss the simple life.

Some reason when I return to those things I feel so far from home and that I do not belong.

Never did I think I would live in the Gold Coast of Chicago and work for a college in the Food Service Department.

No, these were not my hopes and dreams, but I can't complain, I love love love going to work each day and I love the people I work with. I can't imagine working and living anywhere else right now.

Will one day I be back in the simple country life? Or will I now forever be a city girl?

I do miss the open space where I could see for miles.
