Your home...
What is you home? Or maybe the question is where is you home? Is it isolated to just one house? Maybe you home is you home 'town'. So then your home is an entire town. What does the word 'home' mean? Is it just a place that you use for a while than move on? Or is there more to the conscept of home? What if home actually referes to the place that you feel some portion of ownership, responsibility, or comfort for or in? What actually defines a persons home?
Well I think that home means something more than I originally thought. For the longest time I thought that my home was my 'place' and then there is the home town that you grew-up in. This new revilation came with the upcoming move to Schaumburg. I guess one factor that I had not yet noticed was family. I guess that is the part of a home that is important. Now family does not just include the one you were born into. You can make up a family of the people that you meet and make part of your life. Some times you 'life' family is far better for you than you 'birth' family. In my present it is dealing with my 'birth' family. I never relized that my home covered an area that is almost 80 miles in diameter. I would think nothining at all was wrong with the idea of traveling those 80 miles to get to a birthday party that was only going to last the most of three hours and drive those 80 miles back to my bed. The reason, I guess, is because I have family living between points A and F. I have B,C,D, and E that I pass near to get to F. B through E were not all people, some were just places that I spent a large part of my life and fullfilled those other requirements for a home. The travel seemed short because I new the back road and I new ever foot of every mile. I knew where I could stop and what places had already closed. I was places that were familiar and felt comfortable in. Now I have not lived in the house I grew-up in for 6 years now. But I will be leaveing my home for the first ever residence away from my home. My home is not a house. It is 15 towns and the miles of corn and bean there between. It is amazing how much we have in our lives we do not pay attention to. I worked very hard to notice everything in life and still the basic concepts that I thought I new and understood still surprized me because my life is so different and specail from every example I have seen up to now.
I will stop talking for now. You have a good day. Good luck finding you home.
