“Nesting” brings to mind a period of preparation before a time of need or expectancy.

Envision a typical nester.
- A newlywed filling a new wedding-gift vase with flowers from her first garden.
- A pregnant lady folding and refolding tiny, freshly washed baby tee-shirts and stacks of cloth diapers.
- A business woman saving her precious funds for the future.
- Veteran housewives refining their home decor to create a sanctuary for their family.
What result does nesting show? Does a house magically turn into a home? Does a life automatically become a legacy? Something lies beyond the housewares and diapers. Curtains and bean counting can only go so far.
So here I am setting up my nest, searching for what will make my house a home and my life a legacy.
Love,
Jess

Such wonderful thoughts…and I hope you find what you are looking for. For me I find that nesting surrounds myself with things I love and reminders of the people I love as well as anticipating and preparing to welcome in the people who come in and out of my home. I too cannot put my finger on it all but this is definitely very thought provoking. I want to ponder this one a little longer.
