Home Sweet Home

John Denver sang the words “Country roads take me home to the place I belong…” and there are certainly times that being “at home” is just where I need to be.  It may not be West Virginia, where exactly is home?

Is home where you were born?  Where you were raised?  Where you spent most of your life (as an adult or a child, or what you remember most?)  Is it where you went to school the longest?  Or where you liked the most?  Is it where you first lived or where you last lived?  Is it where your heart is?

There is something compelling about going home or being home.  "Home" immediately conjures an image of a place that is warm, clean, safe, maybe like being on moms lap or in her arms.

I have visited people in their house before, and I have visited others in their homes.  There IS a difference.  It does my heart wonders when someone leaves our home and they say you have a lovely home thank you for sharing it with me.  I could cry!   THEY GET IT!

I am grateful to have a house that we have lived in for five years, that we call home for us and others whom we share it with.  Friends that stay, roommates that find a temporary or stabilizing environment before they begin their journey of creating there…  home.

What do you most remember about your home as a child (and as an adult?)

We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One home at a time.
