Thanksgiving was whirlwind - seeing family, catching up with old friends, loving on babies and puppies. And while it was fun, it is good to be home - to sleep in my own bed, get back to morning rituals, and plop down on that perfect spot on the couch. Yes, it is good to be home.
It is interesting how traveling to other homes can make you appreciate your home even more. It is a gift of fresh perspective to appreciate what you have, instead of yearn for what you don't. Sometimes my home gets a bad rap. It is small, only has one bathroom, has very little storage, the laundry room is in a weird place and it could use a few more windows. But today, I am appreciating it. Today I am enjoying the openness of the kitchen, the coziness of our living room, the window above our kitchen sink, the Italian string lights that hang from our pecan trees in the backyard, and the wood floors that echo the pitter-patter of little feet. In the spirit of a good Thanksgiving holiday, I am thankful for my house.
What are the little things that make your house a home?
