Home is where the heart is.

Day 64

     Matt said it while we were driving home today: "Home is where the heart is." We were discussing that while it was sad to drive away from the beach, it was so wonderful to be driving home. Home is such a wonderful word. It feels good to speak it. It feels peaceful and cozy to think about it. I feel thankful to be in it. But it isn't just the four walls around me that make my home. It's the people I share it with. Home is family. A home is created not when one places things in a building and says, "We live here, now." Rather, a home is created when people come together with the common thought: We will dwell together in this building, and love will govern us. We will spend all of our times here: our good times, our bad times, our joyful times, our sorrowful times, our times of plenty, our times of want, our times of health, and our times of sickness. Here is where we will go through our days together. Here is where we will return to day after day, night after night. Here is where our love will reside. 

     Thankful for home.
