A Hot Date with Home

Do you ever find yourself rushing at the end of your workday to get home…?

I mean…home isn’t going anywhere, right?

There really is no need to hurry…

And yet…at the end of every workday I scramble excitedly towards my hot date with home.

They say that home is where the heart is but it’s so much more than that…

Home is filled with precious treasures that I adore touch and hold…

Home is perfectly illuminated with lots of beautiful natural light.

Home is climate controlled and full of the colors that make my heart and soul thrive and sing.

Home has numerous spaces to linger in comfort and contented bliss.

And last, but not least, my love is there… and if she isn’t

She’ll be getting her hustle on toward her hot date with home too.

Then we’ll be there together and happiness will abound.

I truly wish that everyone had a home they could not wait to get back to.

Today, I sit in gratitude that I am lucky enough to have a hot date with Home.

Seeds of Love

Soon we will be parting

And I have got the blues

My heart and mind are fighting

Oh which one will I choose

My heart tells me I love you

My mind says it’s too soon

Though the seed becomes the flower

It needs some time to bloom

Once the seed is planted

It will begin to sprout

Like the seed the love in my heart

Is growing without a doubt

But love seeds cost just pennies

And many are planted each year

Without the tending they need to grow

The sprouts will die it’s clear.

Home

People flock to your kind and patient aura… like butterflies that flit around in the sun landing only in places where they feel safe and nourished.

People, animals…it’s just something about you.

You’ve long been that space for me.

From the moment I heard your voice there was comfort and recognition.

It took me a little time to process those feelings…

You were home! I was home!

Home will always be wherever I’m with you.
