Cheers!
I’ve been back home for a few days now in my beloved Texas Our Texas.
I can’t tell you how warm and good it feels to be home and embrace old friends and family (with, for the record, totally appropriate hugging and kissing).
As a multi-generation native Texan, I’m not just a proud American; I’m a proud Texan-American.
Mind you, I love the unconventional life I’ve carved out for myself in that odd little country that is Belize.
But there is no place like the home country, especially on a chilly but gorgeous day in the Brazos River Valley of Texas where I grew up and left deep footprints.
The great American writer, humorist and cartoonist James Thurber* had a thing about old clocks–he loved them and wrote a lot about them. So it’s not surprising that Thurber, the famous New Yorker who grew up in Columbus, Ohio, never outgrew his love for his hometown. Thurber once said “all the clocks in my heart tick for Columbus, Ohio.”
I’m back where my internal clocks tick and grateful to be here.
Hope you have a great day, too.
Thanksgiving Square in downtown Dallas.
