Back in MO 2/29/12

     I left Myrtle Beach 7:15am on Sunday 2/26/12.  Had a near-perfect roadtripping day -- mostly blue sky, temps in the 50s, traffic wasn't terrible.  Made it almost to Paducah, KY, approx. 770 miles according to my SGD.  Stopped at a Days Inn for the night, in time to see the red carpet Oscar hoopla.  Wow, that was some dress J-Lo was wearing!  And the Clooney, hunkalicious!
     Back on the road before 8am on Monday for the final 330 miles, was rolling into my SGD's driveway and his wraparound hug by 1:30pm.  We've had a great time reconnecting, trying to fit all the stuff I brought back in with his.  In a way, it feels like I never left, like we were only on pause for a bit.  But I did leave, and I'm a different woman for running away and chasing my dream.  I know I am a writer now, even if I'm not making money at it.  I still love the beach, but I've learned that I am an adventurer and home is wherever I want to be, not a specific state or place.  So this won't be my last adventure, that's for sure.  And home may change many times until my journey is through, but I'm hoping my SGD will be right there with me wherever I go.  That will make it home.
     Thanks for reading Myrtle Moments.  I won't be blogging here again.  Who knows, maybe I'll start a new blog as my writer life continues and I can share the excitement when my novel and memoir come out.  So stay tuned, as Carrie Bradshaw says.
