on a home

I came across this in the latest Good Housekeeping quoting Oprah Winfrey.

"What makes a house a home...that it's a precious gift to give yourself daily. What can be more important than the space where you live and breathe and thrive, surrounded by memories and treasures that fill you up?"


Well I certainly feel that way about Argelès. There is nothing in there that I don't love and there's not even a paper clip that I don't want there. And in Geneva? In my space this is true, but I can also delight in the warmth of the rest of the house where my housemate has stored up her family memories.
