What Do You Think Of When You Hear Home Sweet Home
What I really think is: my home is dear to my heart and therefore my Home Sweet Home. When I return from a trip, I always think we made it back safely to our home sweet home and all is well and right with the world. Home at last!
Some might think of the song that's been around for maybe 150 years....'there's no place like home". Just as Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz. I think Motley Crue released the song....and then Carrie Underwood released the song not long ago. So, there must be some credence in the value of the words Home Sweet Home. Does everyone love their home and think of the words Home Sweet Home at some time or another? Probably, at least you probably should.
When I worked, I loved to stay home sometimes....Yes, I occasionally played hookie!!! Sometimes I just needed to be at home so I could appreciate homelife and my home sweet home. Maybe I wanted to hear the frogs croaking down in the creek. Or maybe I wanted to smell the flowers growing in the garden. Or maybe it was because I just wanted to be held in the arms of my home sweet home. When you go to work everyday, you just don't get enough of being cuddled by your home, because you have to be away from home for so many hours each day. When you come home, it's bussle time...cooking, cleaning, sleeping and then the next day starts again....the being away from home. Then, on the weekends, you have to make trips to the grocery store, and the department store and the pharmacy. By the time you get home late in the day, you're too tired to think about the sweetness of your home. And probably if your home would try to cuddle you, it might not be the right time and a cuddle would be brushed off.
Why not set aside a few minutes each day to reflect on the home sweet home aspect of life. In this day of fast living, a breather for a few minutes might be just what a person needs. If you sit and look around, you might see that you have been neglecting something or that something needs to be fixed. Or, maybe you look around and just listen to what the home says to you, be it good or bad. Remember that your home each day provides you with shelter from the elements. The sun and the rain can be a pretty awful thing if you don't have a home to shelter you. In a home, a family can grow. Love can grow and so can a relationship within a family. Kids or grandkids can mature within a home, and they can learn about how the home is the mainstay in the family. It's there for always, until you move to another home, and then that home becomes the mainstay for the family. The home is each person's palace.
Today when you find time to relax just a moment, speak to your home and tell it how much you appreciate all the home does for you. Do not be surprised if your home smiles for a moment....it might be apparent to you, but I bet it at least will secretly smile back at you. And by all means don't forget that home is where the heart is.

This is a another picture of Union School, near Sweetwater. This picture shows the Clemens family members in this class picture. For those of you who know my husband will see that the young man standing tall in the third row, second from the end of the right side looks just like my husband. This is his great uncle and the likeness is uncanny.

Tonight we are having grilled pork cutlets. I simply sprinkle with a little seasoned salt and some pepper and grill them. Not difficult to cook at all. I needed something easy as I have to take my car to the shop to have some warranty work done today....so I'll be home late today. Corn on the cob and a nice lettuce salad and homemade chocolate brownies round out the meal.
Thought For The Day
The cure for boredom is curiosity.
There is no cure for curiosity.
--Dorothy Parker
As you go through life today, give thanks to all that is in your life. Once life is over, you can't back up and do it again. The past will remain in the history of your life. There is always room for improvement in one's life....but you are the one who must act upon making the improvement happen. Be safe, be happy......from a Greenviewanite of old, I remain your friend.
