fill our home with love

I can’t remember what show it was on, but when I was flipping through channels on the telly I saw a clip of a man who was talking about how he realized how important his facial expression is when greeting his children and spouse. He said that even if he is feeling angry or upset he puts it aside for that moment when he first sees them, so they know that he truly appreciates having them in his life.
I love the idea of acknowledging how important your loved ones are every day. A facial expression says so much, so now when I see my boyfriend when I get home at the end of the day I walk in the room just thinking how much I love and appreciate him.

I feel like this is home now. There are still a few things that I would like to set up, but its definitely comfortable here. Just after my last entry on this goal my father got sick and passed away after a harrowing 5 week illness, so I ended up packing everything in a huge rush. I managed to get rid of a whole lot of stuff, but I did bring quite a few pretty useless things.
All in all, the house feels good and more importantly – we are really loving each other here. Even the pets are sort of chilled out and giving off good vibes!

I need to fill it with my stuff. I’m getting ready to move to the other side of the country, so I’m packing up my things. I’m trying to take only things that are necessary or meaningful to me.
