There's No Place Like Home, Part II

Several friends of mine have gotten bad news lately and I am feeling more than ever a sense of gratitude for the life I have. We were out and about this morning and I just wanted to get off the road and go somewhere I feel safe. And my first instinct is to hole up at home. The same home that makes me crazy on a daily basis due to its poor design is the place I feel safest. I know bad things can happen anywhere and that there isn't an invisible forcefield of safety surrounding us here. Yet it still seems safer than being out in the wide world. I am appreciating this house, this HOME, more and more lately. We are blessed.
