To go Home, Or Not to go Home, That is the Question : S

Cute, isn't he? :)  His unfortunate face expresses exactly how I feel.

I've decided to spend Christmas in Europe and forgo a precious opportunity to come home.  The larger question to ask, though, is if I want to come home for Chinese New Year.

I've been having second thoughts about this--especially after my back injury "slowed" progress down.  Tennis is picking up again--and in the midst of this sure quickening cadence, I am asking myself if I want to tear myself away.  Again.

It's strange how when I left home, I thought I was tearing myself away to come here.

And now, it feels just the opposite.

The things being away does!  Last December, my body was just starting to embrace the cold when I had to pack and return.  Just then, my game was peaking.  My coach was happy with my progress.  And I felt strong, happy and fit as hell.

I don't know how things will turn in January.  Things, as I've learnt, always change.  Maybe I will want a break, perhaps not.  Let's see.
