letting go...

whenever we return from south carolina

i have a hard time letting go...

my mind keeps drifting back

to what once was just a short time ago

i truly believe my soul lives in the south

i yearn for the ocean and all that the south is

i miss the smell of the pluff mud

and the saltiness in the air

i miss the sea oats

and

all the treasures that can be found

on long walks on the shore

i miss the relaxed slow pace

and the kindness of the people

i even miss the heat & humidity

i do not miss the bridges that connect the islands

i will not drive over them

if we lived there

i would be stuck in mt. pleasant or charleston

until the hubs rescued me

off all things south

the bridges are the only thing i do not miss

thank you sullivans for sending

a ohio girl home refreshed

and

ready for the autumn leaves to fly

until next year
