Homesick

Home to me is all the things you never get sick of. The delicious smell of my Mom’s cooking in the slow cooker all day. The sound of my sisters’ playful giggling, and my hound dog howling as other dogs walk by the front window. In the evening, the rumbling of the garage door as my dad pulls in gives me a reason to celebrate each and every day. After dinner, the taste of fresh, warm muffins right out of the oven, the calming feeling of hot water rolling off of me in the shower and my soft, warm blankets as I doze off making me feel cozy, relaxed and secure. Home to me is all the things that bring you joy, safety and comfort inside of it.
