This just made me cry… Though I am really enjoying and loving my life here in Illinois, Oregon will always be my home.

Stop this day and night with me, and you shall possess the origin of all poems; You shall possess the good of the earth and sun—(there are millions of suns left;) You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books; You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me: You shall listen to all sides, and filter them from yourself. ~Walt WhitmanWords From Neil
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself. ~ Neil GaimanWhat You’re Reading

Absolutely love this. This is the reason I don’t want to live any place else on earth. In my travels I’ve never found a place so beautiful as Oregon – and I was born here! How blessed is that?!
What a gift for you to know that you will always have such beauty to come Home too. Hope you’re enjoying your adventure, friend.
Blessings.
JoDana… I couldn’t agree with you more. Of all the places I’ve been Oregon still ranks at the top. It is definitely a blessing to have been born in and come from such a lovely place. I’m lucky I do.
Looks like you are having your own adventure remodeling your house. Love reading about it.
This adventure called Illinois has been surprising beautiful. Reminds a person that there are things to love about every place.
Take care….
