So, I finally made the move to start my blog! I hope you will all feel "at home" here, as if we were all sitting in a beautiful and comfortable living room, in wonderful cushy chairs, eating and drinking the most delectable treats, surrounded by tall windows that let in bright sunshine and the many interesting views of San Jose, our city.
What does it mean...to be "at home"? It's a feeling of belonging, feeling good in your surroundings, at peace with your environment and yourself...waking up in the morning and loving the act of flinging open the curtains, raising the blinds, or opening the shutters, because you know that something exciting and interesting will appear on the other side of the glass.
When you're "at home" in your city, you are nurtured by it in both body and soul...you have an intimate knowledge of its restaurants, its cultural and concert events, its social consciousness, the personalities of its neighborhoods, the kaleidescope of its ethnic groups, the cutting edginess of its club, art and fashion scenes...you are in its groove, no matter what your background or age is.
When you're "at home" at home, you love having friends over for no special reason at all, and the visit will unfold effortlessly and spontaneously because your living space invites creativity and conversation. Your home reflects you...an ever evolving and growing citizen of San Jose, a part of our planet Earth.
You, within your home, within your city of San Jose, within the world...the possibilities of being "at home" are endless and tantalizing! Let's explore it all together - please visit often and let's get to know San Jose together.
Barbara, your blog looks very interesting. Keep it up!!
