Travel Fever & Other Assorted Stories: Entry Eleven

Another day to begin this new year. Another day of dealing with snow...bleh!! Another day of cold & an unforgiving wind chill. But time & time again thoughts of Muncie return to me, warm my heart & brighten my day once more.

Oh, how I'm missing the place already. And oh, how I'm loathing this weather in my neck of the woods.

But come this weekend, the forecasters say, things will change for the better & you can't help but feel hopeful about that. The worst anyone could do is offer travelers like myself a bunch of false hopes when it comes to a seven-day forecast which right now is turning out to be (in a word) awesome. The worst anyone could do is give me a forecast of weather that I don't want to hear about & sure want no part of. But right now, things are looking up; things are going along the lines of the forecaster. Such is life & life will soon be good again.

For the moment, I'm patiently waiting for this snow to cease once & for all. I've had to deal with it enough for the past two days & (if I can help it) don't want to deal with more, not after the last round of white stuff which fell in droves a few weeks back. And my heart races, my heart eagerly awaits a return to places I've known & loved for the longest time, people who I've had nothing but love for since who knows when & most of all I await a return to my roots, to home.

Home is where the heart is & it won't be much longer before I'm back there.
