being home

I always have a lot to say about going home. issues of where I feel my 'home' really is, the messiness of my family and our situation and how this is only exacerbated during this holiday season that is all about 'joy,' 'peace,' 'giving,' and the chaotic yet slow pace of life that I just can't always sync up to. nevertheless, as I did not spend the winter holidays with my family in 2004 for the first time, coming home was, in some way, something that I appreciated a bit more.
