Over the last few months life sure has thrown an over abundance of curveballs my way, the saving grace of which is the beauty of home.
Picking up the pieces after an end-of-life event has sadly come to its devastating conclusion is where I find myself of late.
In all the madness and sadness I’ve become reacquainted with the beauty of home and its unique way of providing comfort, solace and shelter in the storm.

Regardless of the shape or size, a beautiful life begins at home.
One of Dave the Builder’s favorite songs was “Little Houses” written by Skip Ewing and Mickey Cates and recorded by Doug Stone.
“But you know, love grows best in little houses
With fewer walls to separate
Where you eat and sleep so close together
You can’t help but communicate
Oh, and if we had more room between us, think of all we’d miss
Love grows best, in houses just like this”
Lyrics touch the heart when truth is at the core of the verse.
Wisdom visits the one trying to master the art of being fulfilled in a room full of people or perfectly content in a space perfected for a party of one.
Nature’s renewal from the dark of winter to the warm and bright color palette of spring reveals the necessary presence of faith over fear found through serenity.
Change in seasons, station and situations is an ever constant.
Finding joy in the familiar and comforting beauty of home leads the journey, and memories stand as an old acquaintance on a mission to befriend a broken heart.
Lovely is the concept of and suggestions from this spring bucket list.
Hope springs eternal.
