A Wonderful Surprise
No surprise, I'm sure, that I'm sitting in my house as I type this entry. No surprise, I'm sure, that I'm snug and secure, the roof overhead sturdy and true, the walls hugging me close. If you'd asked me 30 years ago if this was possible I would have been surprised. I would have put on a brave face, but my eyes would have said it all. Yet, here I sit: my husband in a meeting in his upstairs office, my daughter sleeping in for she does not have class today, my dog has made a little nest in my nap, while our cat has padded away to find the patch of sunlight that works it way through the upstairs window.
There have been arguments under this little roof, there have been tears, there has been hesitation about where we stood in marriage, in life... and when the tears dried this is where we found ourselves. Because here there has, also, been laughter, and hugs, and love. Together, accepting that none of us are perfect, that family is work, and we've both had moments where we've not towed the line; where we've turned off, closed up, runaway emotionally. Then we've returned, y hemos encontrado, and found that when all is said and done, when the past showed me the odds were against it, we've truly made a home.

bless your home
& all your real stories
that have led you
to exactly where & who you are...
such a dear silhouette!
That really sums it up so well. Life in this stage.
It sounds like you are exactly where you are supposed to be right now - and I'm very glad for you! Relationships (husband/wife, parents/children, friend/friend) all take work, and that makes them all the more worthwhile, because people have invested, have listened, learned, grown and loved. Abundant blessings to you and all you love.
A home is so much more than a roof over our heads, isn't it?
But I am so glad you have those four walls that hug you and protect you...that you have a space that keeps you and your family safe and loved...no matter the struggles.
and yes! you have made it a home... with your heart all over and in the house, home is where the heart is! Linni xx
