In my “31 Days” of writings on kinda “remaking of my life”, loving your home or the place that you call home is so important.
Visiting one of my favorite stores last week I struggled with buying a sweet, simple, canvas sign.
Take a deep breath,
your are home now!
I can still remember coming home from school to a clean house with my Mom usually ironing. Our lives were far from perfect, but I always knew my Mom loved me, and I was safe at home with her.
My dreams over the years of having a larger more expensive house are gone. The one I have with all its flaws is my “home”. I have learned to love this simple place filled with cherished things and memories.
I am working on removing unnecessary things, all the clutter here and there. Simplicity helps us to eliminate excess.
Simplicity doesn’t mean doing without, but I am finding that less, keeping only the special things that you so love, has a way of taking away stress and brings order to life.
Peace, safety, joy, love, and contentment, that is the “home” I want for me and my family.
Oh, I did buy that little sign! I plan on hanging it near my front door so when we step inside we can take that deep breath, knowing we are “home”.
Blessings.
Love the special place you call “home”.
