Resting Places

Now, you could take that title many different ways. I was pondering the houses we own/rent. We one a home in one city and rent a home in another. I've always dreamed of having a "vacation" home, but didn't think this would be it. When we visit the home we own, it's not for vacation purposes. But we do rest our head there sometimes at night.

We have more dog crates in the rental than we have bedrooms. That is counting the one in the garage, but nobody has to sleep there. If you add the dog bed to that, the dogs have more places to rest that we do in the house. If you add the sofa and recliner that number gets even more impressive. Although we do sometimes get to rest on those surfaces if the dogs let us.

As always it's a lesson in what we really need in life. The size of the house does not matter, the size of the life we live does. There are comforts to be found in each. Some are more spacious comforts, some are small and cozy. All give us a place to rest our body and soul.
