I sometimes want to travel, but I don’t really do that well away from home.

Away from home,

Doing what I should do

Doing what is needed

Seeing those dear to me…

Yet wondering:

           Are the peas up?

           How is the old cat?

           Does my dog miss me?

          Is my chair lonely

          That I’m not sitting in it?

          What about that form

          That’s due on Monday?

Is the study emptier,

                    When I’m not there?

    I know how you feel. I feel the same. I would much rathet be at home than away. A nice piece.

    I love to travel and we get away at least one or twice a year. But I always worry about our dogs and our bird even with our daughter house and pet sitting. And I know she takes good care of them.

    I use to feel the same way you do. But since my job requires me to travel a lot and alone, I try to enjoy every trip I have as much as I can.

    I like it.
    It reflects the working of process of my own mind too.
    Only I don’t have cats but I was wondering all the time if the plant would miss me… lol.

    Thanks for sharing.
