A Place I long to Return to

Some places never really leave us. They stay tucked inside our hearts, waiting for a memory, a scent, a photograph, or a quiet moment to bring them back. It may be a childhood home, a grandparent’s porch, a mountain town, a favorite beach, a country road, or a place where life once felt simple and full of wonder.

This week, write about a place that still calls to you even after many years. What made it special? Who was there with you? What do you remember most—the sounds, the smells, the view, the feeling? Tell the story of the place you long to return to, even if you can only visit it now through memory.

The Road Home

The Road Home

Some roads stay with us long after we have traveled them. They may be country roads lined with fence posts, gravel driveways leading to a childhood home, mountain trails that carried us into quiet places, or familiar streets we could still walk in our memory. This week, write about a road, driveway, street, trail, or journey that reminds you of home. Where did it lead? Who traveled it with you? What feelings come back when you remember it?

My goal is to have it complete by the end of the summer…
