What or where is “home”?

I’ve asked myself this question many times in my life. Is “home” the cliches of “Home is where the heart is” or “Home is a state of mind”?

I found my answer today.

As a child I remember “home” as coming in from sledding in the heart of winter and the warmth from the wood burning stove wraps around you in a maternal hug, the smell of fresh baked bread, pies and goodies wafting through the house, and a quiet comfort you just can’t explain at that age.

Sound familiar? As I’ve grown I’ve tried to find a way to duplicate that feeling I had so many years ago to no avail. Why can’t I find my “home”? I often pondered.

Today I read an article in a religious magazine and as I pondered that article my answer to that age old question came.

As a child my parents created what they felt home should be for us kids. As a parent I am creating what home feels like for my kids. And as a grandparent I will create what nanna’s house feels like for my grandkids. Therefore, “home is not a state of mind, it’s an actual place where you reach new levels of maturity.

I hope I have created a home where my children can reflect back on a happy, carefree childhood and I hope to establish a home where my grandkids remember as them being my world.

Remember the Golden Rule!
