HELLO PRECIOUS!

As I was driving home from the airport last night, I remembered that I had forgotten (if you get my drift!) about STORYTELLING SUNDAY over at SIAN'S PLACE. For the uninitiated, SIAN hosts a forum, once a month, for a group of Bloggers(and YOU, if you feel so inclined) to share a story...long, short, happy or sad: we love them all!

This year she has suggested the theme to be 'PICK YOUR PRECIOUS'.....initially the idea was to write  about those little things that mean a lot to us....but  many of us have veered off course a little fair bit to write about somewhat larger things- and even people who are precious to us....and has Sian been at all upset with us?...not a bit!...Sian welcomes all  stories with open arms!

As I mentioned earlier, I arrived home last night after having spent a couple of days with mum and dad (dad has managed to stay out of hospital for about two months) and then heading to the NE of England to help Kirsty move to a new apartment.

It occurred to me as I drove through the gate, that THIS is my precious for this month:

.....HOME! ...and I don't JUST mean the bricks and mortar that is our house...at this time in my life, this just happens to BE home. I mean the having somewhere you look forward to returning to, where you can relax and be comfortable...where everything around you is YOURS,  and when you walk in the door you sigh with relief and think 'I'M HOME'! Even though I arrived back to just being me here again (well me and Boo)...there is still a sense of family in our home and I will never tire of the 'COMING HOME' feeling!

I'm hoping to catch up with a few SS stories during the course of the week....why not pop  over to SIAN'S and check some out yourself?

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you
