Pure And Simple Happiness ©2015 Joan M. Newcomb

Whole Foods opened it's very first store in Tacoma yesterday and I was unbelievably happy.  We've lived here for 18 months and I've been trekking to Seattle almost weekly for my organic fruits and veggies.

I could rave on about the store - it's enormous, it's bigger than the one in Rockville in the DC area where I'd shop when caring for my mom - but it isn't about the store, it's about the feeling.

It was pure and simple, childlike joy.

I was just in the city where I was born, part of a mission to scatter my moms ashes to all the places where she lived.

I was so focused on other things, like my parents and my older brothers living there, that it didn't occur to me that it was my birthplace, until I was on the train to the airport.
