The Happiness of Home

Few ideas hold within them the peace and comfort of happiness epitomized by the idea of home.

Home represents the place where we can be who we really are.  It’s a place where we’re safe and where we’re okay, a refuge that lets us leave our pretentions, roles and struggles at the gate.

Home greets us with familiarity and feels like a hug.  It welcomes us and invites us to take off our shoes, have some supper, relax and let our minds run free.  It says, “You belong here.”  It tells us that we’re loveable and loved.

We think of home as the physical environment where we hang our hats and keep our pajamas.  But in truth, home is where the heart is. Like happiness, it’s a state of mind, always no farther than a thought away, than an opening of the door.
