I am From
"If you don't know where you're from, you'll have
a hard time saying where you're going."
by Wendell Berry
Where I’m From
I am from the valley of the sun, surrounded by desert and blue skys.
I am from the comfortable & clean and smells of laundry piles.
I am from the smells of citrus trees, the paloverde, numerous cacti, scorpion kings and where it reaches 115 degrees, endless swimming pools and dark golden tans.
I am from Sunday's going to grandmas, tacos on Christmas Eve, blue eyes, brown hair. I am from Hughes, Hall, Sjodin and Lundin.
I am from the very stubborn and it has to be my way, from the emotional, caring and compassionate.
From the "hurt won't last forever" to the you'll live and learn and "it soon shall pass."
I am from a church with no name and converted to one...the Church of Jesus Christ is now my lifestyle, my home.
I am from Arizona where you eat out Mexican and eat KFC while water skiing on the lake.
From singing making up dances to grandmas records, drinking Pepsi on the brick fireplace, watching Muppets on Friday nights and camping in "Young" AZ where I got my fair share of mosquito bites.
I am from boxes of pictures, on the walls and all around, numerous videos of dance recitals, and hundreds of photo albums looked over and over.
