On Fridays around these parts we stop, drop, and write.
For fun, for love of the sound of words, for play, for delight, for joy and celebration at the art of communication.
For only five short, bold, beautiful minutes. Unscripted and unedited. We just write without worrying if it’s just right or not.
Won’t you join us?
Today’s topic. Grateful
GO!
Amid the hustle and bustle of the holiday, I am grateful for my family, for the turkey that filled my belly and building family traditions.
But what I’m MOST grateful for after a long weekend, is HOME.
Home where you hang your hat, where the heart is, where we are a family.
After over twelve hours driving around the midwest, and sleeping in different beds it’s nice to feel the warmth of our four walls. The way the house hugs us the moment we walk through the door.
As soon as my feet hit the threshold I kick off my shoes and take a deep breath. Ahhh…
Our house isn’t perfect. It’s messy, chaotic and loud. And that’s just how I like it.
There’s no place like home.
STOP!
