Recipe for creating home from scratch.

I write to you a recipe that I have been experimenting with. After moving from my home city of Ottawa, I found myself in new surroundings and trying to remember what the recipe was to create a home.

I stood in my kitchen, scratching my head, thinking how unfortunate it was that I didn’t write it down somewhere. I guess I only had my memory to work with now, but memory is a funny thing to rely on for recipes. But nevertheless, after much experimentation, here we are. So, let us get stared:

One cup of comfort, sifted.
One cup safety blended with above.
A heaping tablespoon of warmth and love,
and a dash or two of naps at noon.

A little sprinkle of whimsy and glee,
a teaspoon of serenity.

Then mix it together with compassion and grace,
and you are off towards building a happy place.
To garnish with notes of sadness is fine, for a home
made from scratch welcomes all “good”, “bad”, and “sublime”.

Now you can adjust curiosity and adventure to taste,
after all, it is your place.
For my home, this start should do just fine,
but for you, feel free to take more or little time.
To start a home from scratch is no easy task indeed,
but I hope this recipe helps you start with ease.
