Monday On My Mind

Home is what’s on my mind this Monday. As in, being home. After a week in Iceland, a handful of days at home, and then another week away on Cape Cod, it’s just good to be home. I know travel is something I have missed terribly due to the pandemic but, at the same time, I also got very very used to being home. I’m grateful for the privilege of being able to travel (safely, too) and I’m also very grateful to just.be.home.

Home . . . where I have all my stuff, not just the stuff I think I might need. And I don’t have to live out of a suitcase or pack everything up to move to a different location every few days.

Home . . . where I get to sleep in my own bed with my own pillows. While a king sized bed is a travel treat, I still like my own bed (and bedding!) best.

Home . . . where I have a kitchen stocked with the tools I love best. And I cook with gas and not electricity.

Home . . . where I can turn on the television and watch live news easily. I’m generally not a big tv person but I do like the news in the morning and the evening and I felt a bit disconnected in Iceland, where we never turned on a tv once, and on the Cape, where the tv in our rental didn’t have local cable.

Home . . . where I can blog and catch up with all of you!

It’s good to be home, friends.

  2. I miss that so much – the lovely feeling of being home after traveling. I cannot wait for this – someday. Happy you had some lovely travels and time with family. Welcome back.

  3. Lovely post. Followed the wedding in Iceland photos on Instagram – amazing!

  6. Home is definitely where the heart is for me, but I also miss having that reaffirmed by leaving and returning. I am so glad you are all back safe and sound after your adventures! You were missed, Carole.

  8. welcome HOME! I’ve been feeling a bit sorry for myself that “home” for me has been these same walls for months (and months) and the shift in perspective … about the bed (and the pillows!) and the coffee … thank you!

  10. I don’t always enjoy travel (mainly because I find the process of actually traveling to be so exhausting), but I will say that it does always make me appreciate being home more! I hope you are settling back and in getting rested from all those adventures.
