get real {blog circle}

I've been thinking about Erica's "forever home" as she calls it... She's the one who inspired this here little circle, in case you were wondering... And what that means. A forever home. I have no idea what that looks like. Feels like. So I've been tumbling around that thought. The idea of forever. What it might look like, feel like, sound like. Etc. And also wondering too, if this is ours (our forever home). And how I'm supposed to know.

I was sort of struck by the idea this morning, what our home would look like if we suddenly disappeared (just like got beamed to another planet suddenly or something where we got to eat roasted garlic and marshmallows--not together obviously--and roll around in our pajamas and snuggle under the blankets all day, which come to think of it is actually not too far from our real life right now).

Like, what kind of evidence would there be left behind to tell the story of where we left off. And also, I hadn't planned anything for this blog post at all this month, so I just walked around the house and took a few unstaged pictures, which is really the point of this monthly exercise anyway.

I didn't take pictures of the half eaten apple on the counter. I didn't take pictures of the crumpled tissues, like a haphazard origami dotted around the house. Or the unfolded laundry (clean at least) piled on my bed. Because you know what a half-eaten apple looks like anyway, don't you? And we're sickly around here this morning. And... I don't have to. But it did get me thinking, about something I saw on Suzanne Gipson Photography Facebook recently.

So, here it is. Another round of standing still. What story would your mess tell if you were suddenly swept off to another planet? Follow the next link in the chain (cause that's how this little circle works, dontcha know).
