Home Away From Home

Here is what I imagine heaven to be like.

It's not too warm and it's not too cold; it's filled with memories and generations of people.

My name is Jessica and my family owns a farm up in Jericho, Vermont. Just north of the barn, there is an enormous field for our sheep. In the distance, there are mountains that are all different colors of green and blue to make the trees blend in. I sneak out of my window just to come out here and watch the sunrise. Just before the sun peeks over the mountains you can still hear the bugs chirping as they get ready to stay clear of the hot day. I can hear the breeze as it brushes against my face, leaving goosebumps to replace the cool air.

I can feel the small warmth of the grass under my feet, and as I sit down in the field, I graze my hand through the patches of flowers. Just then the sun peers over the mountains leaving a beautiful smile on my face. Just another wonderful day in paradise.

I guess the thing that puts my senses at ease is the smell of the fresh pine and maple trees, it makes me think of Christmas. All of these things out here come together and make all my worries go away, all the stress of the world that felt like it was on my shoulders is gone. It's like it fades away when I step one foot in this place. It's like there's a magical barrier that doesn't allow any negative things to happen in it. It's amazing.

This is what I imagine heaven to be like, and I guess it already is. This is my home away from home.
