Nothing!

There is nothing quite as wonderful as a cool drink of water when you are hot and thirsty.
Nothing quite as satisfying as a good home-cooked meal when you are hungry.
Nothing near as beautiful as the sight of home to the weary traveler.
Nothing near as sweet as a baby cooing to you.
Nothing near as precious as a child's hug.
And nothing quite as happy as your favorite person sitting on the couch next to you.

And that, my dear friends, is right where I am. Brian has been traveling the past several weeks and there is nothing quite as lonely as an empty place at the table or pillow in the bed. I'm past happy to have him home for the weekend and to know he gets to stay in town next week. Life in general and in the specifics is so much better when the man is in the house!
