Is it just a house or a home? It’s hard to know when a house becomes a home. We all want to live in a home. And that magic line between the two is often very faint or a brick wall. A home doesn’t have a certain size or decor or monetary value. A real home is where one feels the safest, the most comfortable, and where one keeps their most prized possessions. But it takes all those to make a home. Right now I live in a house with my prized possessions and it feels safe, but something is missing. Not sure what it is. It feels comfortable but could be more comfortable. There is another component in that equation. Eventually this will feel like home used to in Colorado. Leaving wasn’t what I wanted so it’s hard to be at home here. To be fair the weather here takes away some of the comfortable I felt in Colorado. Humid air has never been something I tolerated very well. I love the dry low humidity of a more arid climate. I sleep better in that environment. Sleep is important. Haven’t learned to sleep well here, yet. That can put a damper on a house or area feeling like home. More on this later.

It’s been a long journey
It’s been a long journey. One at times seemed too hard to take. I like most are sick of anything to do with coronavirus or whatever the heck it’s called. It has changed life forever. Nothing will ever be the same. Still have to wear a mask most places. Enough about this.
Moving is a hard thing to do. Moving to another state, harder. Moving away from loved ones, even harder. Moving away from a state I love, harder. Add all that up and you have a difficult move. It’s almost “complete”. The furniture doesn’t fit the new house. And the last house was built to a much higher standard than the one we moved in to. The question, to stay or move, again!? Each new day presents different challenges. At this point neither house is home. And yet I am so blessed. So there is a struggle with the feeling that no where feels like home even though our “stuff” is in a very nice house. I guess time will tell if we are able to make this one feel like home.
No one reads my blog but I want a place to document my journey. That is here. Basically for me.
