Missing Home

Day’s like today are what makes me miss home. The temperature is about 75 degrees and the wind is there but calm. I woke up to the bright lighting and birds chirping. I instantly knew today was going to be a good day. Warm weather honestly changes my mood. The only downfall is that it makes me miss home terribly. It reminds me of just last year when I was able to sit outside with my retired parents before I went to school and they drank there coffee on the porch. We would watch our dog run into the house while trying to catch squirells. We would watch our cats roll around in the grass. We had quite a bit to look at considering we have 88 acres of land. I loved it. I loved that we seemed extinct to the other world. My parents would drink there coffee and read the newspaper. We wouldn't even have to talk but I could just feel the warmth. This weather also reminds me of my days playing soccer. I miss soccer more then anything from growing up and high school. I had the best memories from soccer. I always smile when i look back on the past. I miss my dad being my soccer coach until I graduated. I even miss the feeling as if we were going to die after running our three miles on the track. I never thought I would ever miss that. So many memories are flown at me on days like this. It makes me appreciate all my friends but also miss them at the same time. I feel like I can finally relax and think. It's crazy how stressed and emotionless I felt on these cold, winter days. I honestly just felt like I was constantly busy when really it was just a mind set because I am just as busy today but have a different out look. For example, today I am going to class from 10 till 2, then I am going to work out, then I am going straight from OTC to my job at Mama Jeans until we close. Sure, I will be busy but I'm being obtimistic about it. I love this warm weather. It's crazy how something so bland as the temperature can affect your whole outlook on life and give you a blast from the past
