Home.

Is there any better word?

But, Home is so much more than just a word. Isn’t it?

It is a feeling, a sense of belonging.

Actually it is hard to use other words to properly explain or express what it is.

If you have read my past few blogs you will know that in the past year my family moved across the country for my husband’s work. We left our farm, our home, something that we never thought we would do. It is only a temporary move. We are very fortunate and are able to keep our farm while we are away and we plan on moving back home permanently as soon as possible.

Today we are traveling home to our farm and it has me thinking about everything that home is to me and trying to put my feelings into words.

As much as I feel that I can’t adequately put it into words, I’m gonna give it a shot.

Home is…

Where your family is

Where your heart is at peace and where your soul finds rest

A place where you are free to be you, the unedited you

But it is more than a place-

It is a feeling-the feeling of relief when you get there after a long absence

The longing and feeling that something is missing when you are away.

It feels like the sunshine on your face on warm summer day

The feeling of your bare feet in the grass on the cool ground for the first time in the spring (and every time after)

It just feels right.

It is part of you

You are part of it.

It is exactly what you need.

It is exactly what I need.
