30 Days of Thanks: Day 28

I am thankful for home. I have already been thankful for my house but this is entirely different. For the better part of my life, I've loved traveling. I mean, for a few years, I owned a house that I was only actually physically present in for about 30% of the time, at most. And that didn't bother me. But now, I am turning into a home body. It happened even before we had Milo. I love being at home. That doesn't necessarily mean this house in particular, just the place where Nathan, Milo and I hang our hats. Right now it happens to be this house.

It was nice to see family over the holidays but it was equally nice to get home last night. To go to "my chair" (which oddly enough used to be Nathan's chair) where I feed Milo. To tuck Milo into his bed. To have our usual bedtime rituals. To NOT have to hurdle over the three truckloads of stuff we took to my parents and subsequently had COVERING the floor of our room there. To wake up this morning and not have to open my eyes to get to the coffee pot. And now, to sit on our bed, listening to Milo as he half-heartedly whimpers (with eyes CLOSED mind you) trying to keep himself awake at naptime.

Yep, it's good to be home!
