home is...

"Home is pajamas straight from the dryer on the coldest night of winter and a roof that doesn't leak in rainstorms. It's food in the refrigerator and heat that works and this months rent paid in full. It's Benjamin Moore Blue and Porch Light Yellow and loose change in the sofa lining. It's a dog who invented walks and someone to share your late night thoughts. It's the evening news with a glass of wine and a slice of moon in the window at bedtime, the shower that washes away work and the special mirror that makes you look taller before you leave the house. Home is the key left under the mat, your mother's phone number, the place you drive through the night to reach. It's where we find our belonging."
