Home, I have found, is not what I thought it was. This three-week trip to Denver has shown me that. I feel best when I'm actually riding. I love the excitement of finding what's on the other side of the next ridge. I'm happiest rolling into a town I've never seen before.
What makes a place home?
Is it the place you find the most joy? Comfort? Peace?
Riding my motorcycle, sitting next to my husband, laughing with him in a bar, holding him on clean, white hotel sheets, sipping tea in a cafe, watching all the strangers go by. . . these are the places where I'm at peace. I feel free, joyful, excited, and alive.
How can I get this feeling everyday? What changes need be made to accommodate this sense of really living that I now crave?
I suppose we'll determine what those steps are when we get back to San Diego. I feel that we are so close to making our home on the road a reality.
Yes, I'm nearly home.

It is good that you know what brings you peace and joy. I wondered if you would feel stagnant being in one place too long after having been on the road for six months.
