Connected with Nature

As it's been made aware, by me, I find Minnesota very difficult to call "home." This state has never been where I see myself in the future, where I want to raise a family, or really where I feel most comfortable.

There are few moments, times, days, when the feeling of home surprises me. The feeling of I belong here, a feeling of easiness, a feeling of this could be right. Today that happened.

The weather was gorgeous, almost picturesque if you will for an early Summer day in Minnesota, and I decided to ride by bicycle to the gym for my weekly session with my competition coach/trainer. My bike ride to my normal gym is about 15 minutes and 3 miles (totally acceptable)!!!

This ride was 11 miles one way. Happily, it was the most tranquil 11 miles of my 2015 happened on that bike today. I felt so connected to nature, to myself, to my state, and to my current place in time and to my current place in life in Minnesota. Feelings like that sort of shock me into some blissful state of mind, not only because I love the feeling of home, but I love that sense of peacefulness and knowing that for this moment things are right where they are supposed to be. So for now, I will be content in my quest for getting home and peacefulness. I know where I feel at home, and that the right day will come when I will make it there.
