I didn’t follow American Idol this year, but I tuned into most of Wednesday’s final performance show, and quickly became a fan of Phillip Phillips. Did you catch the show? What did you think? I really enjoyed his final performance that night of an original song he sang titled Home. I found his voice to be comforting, the lyrics moving, the acoustic guitar soothing/magical, and thought the drums added such a soft, yet strong and beautifully complimenting sound. I was also drawn to the fact that he looked so at ease, so in his element, and I felt such happiness for him…as those rare moments of “flow” in this life are so wonderful to witness and experience.

If you’d like to listen to his Home song for yourself . . .

Listening to that song also makes me reflect on the subject of “Home”…specifically, the things that have felt the most like Home to me during my widowed years…things that have provided me with shelter, security, safety — important parts of my environment that provided some form of grief relief. Reflecting on these things that made-up (and still make-up) my Home felt good to think about, and I thought you might enjoy the question too. What are the things that have provided you with the greatest sense of Home during your widowed or grieving days?
