About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Write about this in your Blog entry today.


---------

At this point in my life, a happy home is a place or rather a situation where I have freedom to be myself. But then, I always was myself, at different stages of my life and with different or changing, maybe revolving, family members. I say revolving because my sons take turns to be around me nowadays, after they've flown the coup, and sometimes we manage for all of us to be together, even though other very important family members are not here, anymore, Yet, those who are deceased are still with us in our hearts and memories.

For me, a happy home is where, in addition to be myself and other members to be comfortable enough to be themselves, love is practiced all the time, laughter is common, and every member feels like they belong. This means much more than a physical space, but an environment where everyone feels accepted, valued, supported. and safe. This means respect, communication, encouragement and much understanding among the people in this happy home.

When we achieve these things and such cooperation, then we find that the time spent with the others in our home is one of quality and stability where we all feel we truly belong.
