home equals love
Today is our third anniversary. My husband and I have been married three years. Wow.
(and of course as life gets in the way on the day you want to celebrate. tonight I taught yoga and we have to be up at 4 tomorrow so I can get to the airport so we will both be in bed soon. we celebrated Monday.)
I know that even as I search for the meaning of this word home, I am certain of one thing.
Home is love. Home is the space that rests between my husband and me; it is what we created when we decided to come together in this life.
I gave him a collage on wood created by Swirly Girl. (I will take a picture when I return from my trip so you all can see it.) It is called Wandering - the words say:
i was lost
and
wandering
ever so slightly
aimlessly
But then I found you
and I was home.
[ever so slightly]
This is it (of course). Home equals love. Home IS where the heart is. I am finding my way and I am home.
Still, I seek understanding of the home of childhood. That family before this one I live in now (meaning the "now" family of my husband, millie the golden, and me).
But I take a breath and know that I am home.
And I am blessed.
(I hope to be able to post a few notes here and there while I am gone. But if I can't, I will be back early next week.)

Happy Anniversary! We never got around to getting that piece of paper...but have lasted nearly 11 years without it...and do celebrate an 'anniversary.' I don't care about structures or dwellings..."home" for me is where WE are. :)
A very merry Anniversary to YOU and your three year Husband. Your home thoughts - I keep coming back for more! Especially as I strive to bring some order to the new home of my own!

Happy anniversary!! I was just thinking about home and what it means, and you're certainly right that it's about people. It's about love. I'm so happy your home brings you this feeling of blessed peace.
