Why here??

[dayna]

I'd never been here. Hubby got some training on Oahu and I decided to go with him. I was not impressed with the city, but I felt "something".

We then made a trip to the Big Island after doing a bit of reading, joining Puna Web, etc. I stepped off the plane in Kona and again, was not that impressed. As soon as we got over to the East Side, I knew. I KNEW. I was home. Having moved all over the country as a child growing up with a military father I had never ever had this feeling before in my life.

We decided then that we would make Puna our home, someday, somehow. The someday and somehow happened a LOT sooner than we planned. I've never been happier. I used to sleep hours and hours. Unhappy. Now I wake up full of JOY, ready to milk my goat, tend my property, do puttering stuff.

I was talking to a local guy the other day, he was asking me how I felt about Hawaii. I almost got teary eyed. I can't explain it. Its not really paradise, that doesn't really exist. But what Puna is to me? It's home. I'll die here. He explained that he felt the same way and he was glad I lived here now. He said if everyone felt this way there would be a whole lot more happy people living here.
