"Standing outdoors sometimes at night, looking in through the lighted windows at the familiar, cherished rooms, I imagined our house as a living, breathing organism, animated by us and filled to the brim with the stuff of our lives, every moment, every word, and gesture of our family's history contained within it's embracing walls."
-The Gift of an Ordinary Day by Katrina Kenison
This is an excerpt from a book that I read a while back. When I read this part of the book I almost started bawling my eyes out! It literally encapsulates all the memories I have of my childhood home and what I want my home to be now. I hope you enjoy this precious little piece of the book as well.
