So I went through a little depression (more of an indentation really) after getting back here from California. I just had such a good time seeing family and friends there and feeling that irreplaceable sense of comfort that comes with the familiarity of one's home culture/landscape/climate.
However, I am now settled back into my life in Katherine, feeling that other wonderful sense of place that goes something like this: Wow! This is a great place to be. There's no place like it in the world. I'm lucky to be here having this experience.
I will write more about the experiences that I am currently having on another day. Now I am going to go help Justin with dinner before we go to the fortnightly Film Society film. Tonight it's A Very Long Engagement. We know nothing about it, but that doesn't matter. Simply going out to the cinema tonight is an event. We will see many people we know or kind of know and we'll feel like we belong.
I hope you are feeling like you belong wherever it is that you are.

Eyal and I always knew that it would be difficult building a family from
two different countries. It is just now, however, that we have to really
put that ...

I have been thinking about you so much and I'm so excited you posted again, even though it was short. I actually had a brief "indentation" myself. That hasn't happened to me in a while but now I think there was some sort of intercontinental sisterness happenening there...
Please write me as soon as you feel up to it. I love you so much I almost want to cry. Well, I don't really WANT to cry, but I very easily could when I try to organize what's occuring in my heart. Okay, te doy amor siempre, mi hermanita!

P.S. What the bleepin' VeriSign is that first comment all about?
Hey, I was thinking about you two just a day or two ago, wondering maybe if RSS had gone wonky on me again. I guess it didn't, so now you're back.
I've forgotten what it feels like to be at home anywhere. In Pisa now, headed for cripes knows where, it's fun but getting weird to be on the road for so long...
