Is It Possible?

Is it possible to feel love from an inanimate object?

This past week has been very difficult for me - I have suffered both personal and professional losses. In the midst of all this, however, something very exciting was happening - I closed on my very first home.

For the last 10 months I have been living in some sort of temporary housing - a friends house, a hotel, a condo. Now I have my own forever home.

I moved in yesterday. It was hot as blazes, I was depressed from my week, and just did not feel like doing much. I got the main items set up, sent my mother home and retired to my bed (not yet made) to wait for Comcast (long story there) and the washer/dryer delivery people. Despite the stress and sadness, I drifted to sleep.

Last night, around 11pm, I again retired to my bedroom (this time the bed was made - clean sheets, too!). My bedroom feels like a big calming hug. I was worried that I would be frightened living in a free standing home all by myself. But I wasn't frightened at all. The vibe I got from the house was that it loved me and would keep me safe.

So, dear reader, is it possible to feel loved (and to love) an inanimate object? I am not sure either way but what I do know is that I love my new house and I could swear it loves me, too.

Take care.
