Hello my friends,
It has been a few months since I have tested the keys for inspiration. I am not sure I have anything inspiring to type today but I am ready to catch you all up on what findingevie has been up to. I am constantly blown away that people remind me that they read my blog and sincerely care about what I write. Did you know all I ever wanted to do out side of being a mother is be a write. I guess in some ways I am a writer, as I have been on again off again blogger for as long as I have been on line. Which was since I was 20ish.
It is insane to think how just so many short years ago the internet did not exist and we all somehow managed life without cell phones attached to us 24/7. Life would have been very different for me if it was not for the internet. I probably never made it to New York and Id never know what life could be. Sometimes I get teased about how much I love New York. Not to mention how I now believe I in fact am a New Yorker. Don’t come at me… LOL I lived between South Ozone Park, Queens and Montauk for 10 years I called it home and for the first time It really did feel like what we are convinced home to feel like. Which by my definition is a place where your always welcome, people accept you and want you there, your comfortable and at peace. Life feels easy and inviting. For me long island was all those things. When I moved to Boston area, yes it was beautiful and had some perks but over all the entire time I was there I always felt like I was missing out on life. The life I had been attended for.
Now I am so far away from my New York that I might as well be in Ten-buck-to. I still have my New York phone Number, which I have no intentions of ever getting rid of it. I also don’t ever tend to forget how much I loved the beaches, the smell in the air as you drove closer and close to the water. Ill never forget how great a pie taste right out of the oven, or how cold an Italian ice really could be. Ill never forget the sounds of the city and the light from the glow of the lights that never went out. The smell of Indian food all around non escaping closer to Queens you get. Ill never forget the honk of a taxi, The yell of a random delivery guy, The hustle and bustle all while minding ones on business. The taste, the sounds, the smells all enduring. All part of my New York. Which five years later the sadness and overwhelming desire to be back where I love the most is still as new as the first day I rode away from it.
Guess you can tell that I really miss New York. To be perfectly honest Oklahoma has not been bad to me. In fact, in many ways, it has been very inviting. I of course will prefer it when I can have my own car and can explore on my own. Right now, I am very limited to what I can see on my short outing to the doctors. These outings will be fewer and far between now that all the initial visits have been made. Least I am smart enough to be thankful for that. I will miss getting out. Maybe as my health improves, I will be able to convince my brother to take me out. Once I am not such a bother and burden more outing will open up. I am in the need of fall décor. I miss having all the options as I had with my living situation in Boston area. I loved decorating for Halloween and then Christmas.
I am settling more and more here in Oklahoma. My little apartment feels more and more like me. Which makes me happy. I have never had my own place so experiencing this has been over whelming but fun. Ill leave you here today, with the thought of home. I hope you have a place to call home I think we all deserve that feeling. Love to you all.
Finding Evie
