Ever go on vacation and even though you’re relaxing and enjoying yourself, you still have a place inside you that yearns to be home again?
Not everyone experiences it, but many do.
Waking up in your own bed is a nice feeling. There’s a comfort and familiarity that accompany the daily routine that’s about to begin.
This is all based on the assumption that you’re living in the home that is building you.
Remember the story of The Three Little Pigs?
Each pig built a house, right?
The villain huffed and puffed.
But the one pig, the serious one, built his house of stone.
Made a big difference, didn’t it?
Can you imagine living in the same house your entire life?
My Mother-In-Law was born at home, 87 years ago, and was one of nine children.
Her mother ran a one-room grocery store in the front room of their row home, which is where I’m writing this from – where the cash register used to be.
The store is now the living room.
Margaret helped her Mother run the store, and eventually got married at 34.
She and her new husband moved into the bedroom above the store. They still live here.
Can you imagine living in the same house for 87 years?
Are you easily squirrel distracted?
I am.
Have a great Saturday everyone.
Do great work.
Lead a balanced life.
It happens one day at a time.
Tomorrow’s post will be from squirrel somewhere different. 🙂
We go on vacations to get away from it all, to have fun, and to be happy.
But why do we need to leave our homes to get that?
It seems counter-intuitive to me, but not in a good counter-intuitive way.
I mean, as adults, shouldn’t we make our homes a place where coming home is like an oasis from the real world?
So last night, it was late, and pulling into our long driveway, you could see the two beady eyes immediately, about 30 meters away.
A fox.
I love country living. It often feels like a vacation.
