Home: Where My Heart Is
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” ― Edith Sitwell This quote from Edith Sitwell says it all so perfectly. Home for me has never felt the way it does now, the way it's portrayed in this quote. It has never been comforting, or quiet, or filled with friendly hands by the fire. My current address is just that. It's warm, it's "home-y", it's quiet when needed, cozy when needing comfort, and fun during get togethers. My take on my home is of course my opinion, but everyone who visits loves to add in, "It's very home-y here". I of course take in much delight after hearing those words. Words that I've wanted to hear most of my adolescent and adult life. Words that would have reassured me that where I was was safe and secure. Words that I will share with my children, letting them know that they are home and they are loved.
