There's No Place Like Home

Wherever you call home now, there once was a time in your life when Ridgewood was that home. As the old joke saying goes, home is the place when you show up they have to take you in. I am exaggerating, of course.

The point is that now our old home is an easily avoidable frustration. One that we only visit in our minds and can leave as quickly as we begin to think about something else. "But oh, that magic feeling" never strays far in our thoughts.  How could it?

Where you grow up and call home influences you for the rest of your life. Might as well get used to it and try just to recall the good stuff. There are always good memories of home, if we allow ourselves to believe in them.






Happy New Year!
