Change is good

Do you know the sound of your home? By sound I mean, you know the familiar feeling of knowing what is happening inside your house even if you don't see anyone? Like for example, you know your mother is cleaning just by the sound of her footsteps, you know your sister is still sleeping even though you haven't checked on her, you know your dad is fixing something in the garage, you know when someone wakes up next room by just hearing a certain creak of the floor and so on and so forth. Familiar sounds which reminds you that you're home. This sense is often a product of knowing your home, of a sense of security one gets from being at home.

As I look up from my computer, I see different things, I hear different sounds. I can see the mountains from where I'm sitting, I can feel the evening breeze coming from the open sliding door of the living room, I hear cars passing by from the street below. New sounds, new sights, new smell, new rooms... yes it's a different house. Not the one I have lived in for most of my life. I'm not living with my parents anymore. This house will be my new home. I'm getting myself acquainted with the new sounds I'm hearing. I'm sure pretty soon I will know each sound this house produces. I am looking forward in making this house a home for us.

I miss the sounds of my old home but change is good.

Till my next post.
