Blogrimage! Day 1: The beginnigs again...

Today, I have started a quest. Although it is not the search for the Holy Grail, it is a quest to once again come back to this media that we call "Blog's"!
I have been challenged by a good friend on mine name Joe, to start a blogrimage. A 30 day venture to do one thing, something that I have always wanted to do, and to blog about this journey with near 40 other friends. We have all come together to blog about one thing that we feel would challenge us... or just entertain us :) Some have picked jump-rope in the process of a six-pack, some have chosen to ask one question to a complete stranger, "when do you find yourself the most vulnerable?".
The challenge that I have picked for myself? Begin to write my memoir, with a little help from a book call "Old Friend from Far Away" by Natalie Goldberg. So, everyday for the next 30 days, I will be taking one assignment from this book, fulfilling it out to it's uttermost and then posting those writing here for you all to see and enjoy.
Feel free to comment as you like, the more thoughts that get shared the better. Also feel free to follow our group on facebook, "30DAY BLOGRIMAGE" and see what all our quests takes us in these next 30 days.
So with out further ado...

Day 1: Home
Where is home for you? 10 minutes to write. Go.

Where is home for me? Home is where I belong, home is the place wher I have others that care about me, that cherish me.
Home is the place where you feel the most comfortable, the most loved.
Home is where you want to go when you have been away for a long time.
Home is where you put your feet up after a long journey, home is where you lay your head at night and you are at peace... you are still.
Home can be one place and only one place, but home can also be a multitude of places; of families, of loves had, friendships made and journeys begun.
Home is the place of stories. Where the young learn from the old, where the old watch and enjoy the thrill, the joy, the energy of the young.
Home is a place to grow, home is a place to rest. Home is the place where we all desire to live. It is the place where we want to spend our time, where we want to enjoy those who are around us.
Home is the place where meals are shared the place where bonds are formed. Home solidifies who we are, what we love to do, who we can see ourselves becoming.
Home is our sanctuary. Home is our center.
Without the home we wander, without the home we are lost (not the t.v. show).
Home is where children can be children. Where Fathers & Mothers can be husbands and wives.
Where one can take on the role of a nurse, a chef, a theripists, a coach, a drill sergant, a judge, a jury and many time, the keeper of dreams and hopes of the ones that are too fragile to fly away...

10 minutes are up. Tomorrows subject: 'Peach'. See you then my friends :)
