Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡
Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week. Any plans for the weekend? It’s late Thursday night as I’m sitting down to type this post. My husband and I just returned from our usual Saturday date night. I know it’s Friday now, and not yet Saturday. But we attended a concert last night. (Thursday) And, somehow, it changed my whole post for today…of course. ..oh,oh,
And, a few days ago I posted about a Christmas Tea www.pinterest.com/marcialren/Christmas-in-july/ which actually made me start thinking about the holidays, and what being at home means. Being at home, feeling love, safe, secure. All those things that we want our homes to provide. So….. I’ve been pondering the question of what it means to come home.
I remember when I was in college, and the Wonderful feeling the holidays brought. Everyone came home. Home. I really love that word. Don’t you? Such a little word to conjure up so much emotion. I’m wondering what the word stirs up in you….♡
Well, anyway. ..lately I’m reminded that home is really that wonderful place within ourselves myself. And, even though I live in a beautiful little cottage home. Being at Home , is really a place within myself. A place where I feel comfortable with who I am, and the choices I make in my life. As cliche as it sounds… my home is really where my heart is.
And, just like I don’t need to wait until Christmas to celebrate the “true” meaning of Christmas… I don’t necessarily need to be “in” a home to “feel” at home with myself. It’s very freeing to to know that home is within me. Oh, and I guess that’s what is also meant by “to thy own self be true”, or “wherever you go, there you are” I hope I’m not confusing you. Remember, it is late over here as I write this post. Well, actually, now it is Friday. Early. Sometimes I think it’s good to get a little fuzzy headed, because you stayed up way past your bedtime. Don’t you? It’s fun to think of thoughts that perhaps might not come to an otherwise rational mind. (grin)
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit. Have a great Christmas! (wink)
xoxo….
