Home

Where is my home?
Chicago,
Ireland,
America,
Dublin,
My family,
friends,
mentors,
lovers,
my head,
Iowa,
Franscisco Ave,
Covenant Church,
Paddock Ln,
Baggot St Lower,
Wexford,
Ballycullen?

As I face a calander rapidly erroding;
I wonder where do I belong?
Where do I feel 'at home'?
If home is where your heart is -
Where is my heart?

Alive and Kicking

Yes I was in the hospital - Wexford General Hospital to be exact.
Severe internal back pain brought me to casualty at 11:30pm last Thursday night.
8 needle pricks, 1 bag of fluids, 6 urine samples, and 3 long days later I was released with no conclusions made other than I have no acute problems with my body.
No acute problems is definately good enough for me.
So I packed up my bags and headed for holiday in Galway.

My Feet over the Atlantic

The leaders from the summer Keith, Luke, Mark, Becca G., Becca S., and I met up in Galway city spent a night and day there; then took a ferry to the largest of the Aran Islands: Inis Mor. Population 800 this island has replaced the Swiss Alps as the most beautiful place on earth - at least in my opinion.

The leaders minus Luke

Overall, the three day holiday was so relaxing and I never wanted to leave the island.
I hope to one day return to my Inis Mor (big sappy sigh).
