"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there
are many dark places; but still there is much that
is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."
--J.R.R. Tolkien

Home.  That always has been an abstract concept for me.  I never lived in a place that I thought of as a permanent home.  I always knew that where ever I lived, it was a temporary shelter; I would live somewhere else in the future.  Therefore, I came to define "home" mainly as where my family was.  


I am home now.  It is nice to be here with my mother.  We sit at the table and talk or just do our own thing, together.  We've been shopping together, which is traditional for Mom and I.  It has also been nice being in the same house as my brother.  I still hardly see him but every now and again I get a glimpse.  The best times are when he stops and talks for a few minutes.  I wonder if he knows how much we treasure those times.  

I went to my other brother's house.  His kids are so cute.  My niece and nephew wanted to play with me.  It was so awesome just sitting there, quietly playing with them.  They are great kids.  I do love them very much and have missed their company.  Tomorrow I get to see the rest of my family.

I can't forget my dog.  What a beautiful dog she is.  She has been following me around and wanting me to pet her or play with her.   I've spent so much time petting her and kissing her.   She's my cutie patutie.  I miss having animals around.

As for the town: I do love driving around knowing the best routes to get to where I'm going.  I like not having to worry about one-way streets.  I've missed having to watch out for horses.  Today we had to wait while a herd of cows crossed the street.  I love the country.  It's quiet, friendly, and peaceful.  Cheney, WA is my home for now but Idaho Falls is familiar and has my family.  I've missed it.

    I must say that I think of home as a kind of abstract concept too. For me its a little bit different. I've always heard that home is where the heart is. I guess for me, it's kind of where I am. I try to stay connected to my family and friends. Love visiting them, but I really tend to be OK wherever I am. Glad being home for break is going well.
