At one of my many meetings today some one's coffee cup had a map of the world on it. I saw Alaska on it and I was overwhelmed with the realization that as excited as I am to go to Wales, it's not SE Alaska. I was hit with longing for the rocky coast, the greys and greens, the foreboding expanses of evergreens, the quiet.... gah. I die a little every year more I spend NOT in Alaska.

I love that you have that sense of home and connectedness to it. There are things about it that I really miss, but there's no way I could live there again, not permanently, or at least not that I can imagine. It's kind of sad, but it is what it is.
