Going home
Nov. 11th, 2010 04:04 pmA tiny twinge to the throat on the way back from a weekend up Home, and a day later I was confined to bed for a week. I’m now finally able to really get down to some of the things I’ve learned during that week about myself, my body, and how I process my emotions.
( Apparently I'm just wanting to bark at the world... angry Donna! )
Kumu asked me to take a look at my throat, and communication, and noticed that I have always come back sick whenever I’ve been up Home visiting my parents, in particular, I always have a reaction to my Dad in general. I really took this to bed (literally) to mull over as I got sicker and sicker with fevers, coughing (the Doctor actually thought there was a chance I had Whooping Cough), and general fatigue. I “slept on it” for a week.

I wrote a journal entry many many years ago about how you can never go home again. I was wrong. It felt like I’d come home again this time, and it was pretty much how it had always been, I’m just older, and hopefully a little wiser, now. Things change, but you can always go home, even if it’s just in your heart.
