I am so excited..my friends husband came over this evening and put up vinyl wall lettering that says Home is where your story begins. I have seen that saying so many times in different arts and crafts stores and always loved it as a novelty saying but not until tonight did I stop to think what that really means. Home....that is where it all begins. The traditions that you start as a newly married couple are traditions that you hand down to your children and you got them from your parents. We can trace everything back to our home and our family. Sometimes I wonder what things my children will take with them as they leave our home and start thier own. I know what memories I hold dear but perception is everything and each person holds different things close to thier heart. Unfortunately, sometimes it is not just wonderful memories that you take with you. We get a mix of the junk that seems to sneak into our bags as we leave home without us noticing it until much later in life. There are so many things I want to change about myself and I see my oldest son modeling so many of those nervouse, naratic behaviors and it just kills me. He wears his feelings on his sleeve and is so tender hearted. He puts so much pressure on himself to be perfect and I for one know what that pressue can do to a person. I guess that we just have to be honest with our children as they get older and let them see some of the things that we have struggled with in life and hope that we can help them learn through our experiences. Just a thought....
God Bless
PS. I will post a picture of the wall lettering and if you like it I will tell you where you can order it. I LOVE MY WALL....
