The Longest I have been in the same house...
Is this one I am in right now.
I just did the math and I have surpassed the number of years I spent in my parents’ current house over the years.
This is the longest I have been stationary ever.
I had my vagabond years of various roommates and living conditions.
I am settled now. I don’t have an itch to move onto something or somewhere else.
I have put down roots in my community.
There was a time that I thought that I would never have a permanent home other than my parents.
But I have a home, a family, and pets. All those were things that were ephemeral to me over 15 years ago (going on 16 in March).
Kind of a nice feeling.
Nothing really profound just something I have been thinking about.
Now I am thinking about cleaning the house that I have lived the longest in and shall do so.
I am grateful for homes.
