Day to Day happenings in my life

Nostalgia

Nostalgia is a lovely word, it sums up a time in the past which gives a feeling of warmth, safety and place one would like to return to.
I can’t think of a specific event which gives me that feeling, but I can remember a time when just being at home with my family around me, especially my Mum, evoked those feelings that everything is alright in the world and I’m safe.
Once you reach adulthood that feeling never seems to be there. Even when you’re surrounded by your own children and partner there is always the undercurrent of responsibility and wariness. I hope though that my children received that same feeling of ‘home is where Mum is’ that I did.
