This is Peanut Butter Brickle. It’s been a long time. A long time since I’ve had my own house that doesn’t move. Almost ten years, in fact.
I didn’t think that I missed it that much. I didn’t think that I would want a house that didn’t move again. I was having too much fun traveling and seeing as much as I could.
I don’t regret that time at all. It was time for those times at the time. If that makes sense.
Now I want a time to have my own place that doesn’t move again. The farm has really reminded me how very much our whole family wants that.
But the problem is that our little house is in that Italy place. And we’ve had a hard time getting there. But I think it’s been for the best. Because I’ve been getting stronger.
And maybe things will work out the way that they are supposed to. I just want it to be sooner than later.
Some have told us we should just stay here. Forever. On the farm.
But there’s a slight problem. We don’t live here. It’s not our house.
Our house is not here. Our roots are meant to grow somewhere else. Not everyone can grow in the same place. There isn’t room for that. And that’s why the earth is so big. It’s not that one place is better than somewhere else. It’s just where someone grows the best.
A sweet potato doesn’t grow roots in the same place as a lemon tree. A watermelon doesn’t grow roots in the same place a coffee plant thrives. So why do we think all of us should like the same place?
I don’t know when or how this will all work out. But I do know roots are sure sounding good right now. There is a time for all times in our lives. Embrace it when the roots start to take hold.
