Look how calm and serene this picture is. This is a representation of how your 'Home Base' should make you feel. You don't play baseball here, so it has nothing to do with baseball diamonds and home plates. So, what is it?
'Home Base' is your landing place... a soft place to fall where you can heal your wounds and cry in quiet privacy, if you need to.
It is your own personal place where you take some moments to celebrate the home runs of your achievements or gripe about your disappointments... in dignity.
It's a place to take time re-discovering that the living of life is the meaning of life, no matter how cruel it may sometimes be.
It is your anchor from which to reflect upon things and plan new ways on your life's journey. Often, a quiet solitude sparks the imagination into new and uniquely creative ideas.
Not everyone has the luxury of such a special physical environment in their home. So, 'Home Base' is more than the physical. It is best when it resides within you, and you can take it wherever you go... out on the ocean fishing, at the beach swimming, in the park walking, or... even in a little corner of your home simply enhanced with a little plant, a nice picture, even a candle - to make it your special place to revitalize yourself and your world.
Home Base is discussed in Chapter 12 of my book entitled "Over 50... A Single Man's Point Of View".
