He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still -Lao-Tzu

Our house… is a very very very fine house.

This new house was foreign to me.  It was an intruder in my life.  (A blessing, but an intruder nonetheless)   Nothing was the right shape or size or color.  I was kind of angry with it. 

I had a good departure from the old house.  I spent some time walking through it watching memories replay themselves as I allowed some tears to slip out. 

New house is now full of all of our unnecessary things.   And just like that, after 2 weeks… it feels like home.  I have found a lot of things to love and a few things to annoy. 

And although my ‘stuff’ helps make these walls feel familiar and more comfortable, it’s my family that make this our home.
