Took my mom to the airport- she's going to Sinai, her monthly visit. Never thought I'd be so happy to be alone again... :-) ... I feel like a teenager who's parents left for a week leaving her at home with the dog- letting her know they don't want her to have any parties and no boys!!!
Well it's a bit different now I guess... But it still feels sweet.
My car's in the garage again- for some repairs - maybe my last hope to sell it...

When I left my moms place- to move to my own apartment- I remember that one of the things I knew I'd miss most was the view to the sea. The sunsets over the valley, the way the sun looks just like a biscuit dipping in the big cup of coffee. It was hard to admit that I wont be able to afford this kind of view. As soon as I admitted it- I found a place I liked.
As time passed I got used to the environment around me, and got to really like where I lived.
Now, after coming back to the place where I grew up, to the views I missed every time I left for more than a day, I appreciate it- no doubt, but I didn't find myself looking at the sea, telling myself how much I've missed it. Living on my own, marking my own territory in a new place, still the same city I grew up in, but a different area- was so worth it. That alone had all the meaning in the world- and I didn't really need the view to make me feel better.
Plus- I could still see the sea whenever I wanted to.
