WHAT IS HOME

Over the years "home" has become something different. Home is no longer an actual house with walls and a roof. Home is where my family is. Home is when we are all together. Home has literally become "where the heart is". 

A few weeks ago I was asked to pick one word that reminded me of home…it got me thinking about all the things that draw me back to that place of safety and love. That feeling when something reminds you of home and you are instantly caught in a daydream of memories, there really is nothing better. A few things that remind me of “home” are,

The smell of a campfire

Inside/stupid jokes

Moving boxes

Suitcases

Waiting till it’s almost Christmas day to FINALLY buy a tree!

Veggie stir-fry (and how much it bothered my older brother when that is what we would have for dinner)

Laughing till my stomach hurts
