The cool waters and sandy beach lay steps from a comfortable cottage. But after 1 day in our vacation spot, I started to worry about being there for 7 days. Maybe I was bored, finding it hard to entertain small kids for so many hours, and having a hard time without AC during the hottest week of the summer. But perhaps I was also missing the peace that comes with being at home, in your own space. Within a few days, our daughter developed a fever and we decided to head home for a night of cool and comfortable sleep. Everyone seemed rather happy and relieved to be home. It takes leaving a refuge to realize it is so.
Home is where the heart is. I belong to this space and it belongs to me. And of course, when the whole family is there, in their home, it feels full. We'll go back for a few more days of fun in the sun, but to me it's never really a vacation if I'm not at home.
