Home
One word that conjures up thoughts and feelings that no other single word does. When you read the title, what instantly came to your mind? We see the idea of home portrayed on television, in movies, and on cards. We all know that perfect ‘home’ with the perfect fire in the fireplace creating a soft glow on everything in the perfect room while the perfect family sits calmly together reading, knitting, and playing.
But sometimes home isn’t like that. Sometimes home is messy, loud, and busy. Sometimes home is a much loved house with a leaky roof, bad plumbing, or rattling windows. Why? We all know the answer is because the people in the family and the memories of those intertwined lives is what makes a place a home. It should also be a place we feel safe. Savor those times and memories of home. It is a part of who we are today.
So when’s the last time you were home? Today? Last week? Last year? Or longer? Ever?
