What Makes Home Feel Like Home?
Angel SMar 21, 21
What is it that helps a house feel like home? Is it the people you live with? is it the energy that is given off? Or is it the places you live around? What makes home, home to you?

    Home is where you can be yourself and not worry about what others will think. It is where you can show your creativity and sharing your love.

      Home for me would be where I grew up where all the memories of years gone and years to come are made

              What makes a house into a home, if it is a place where you can relax and have peace and quiet after working though out the day. Where the children can sit and tell you all about their day and have people you love sharing your home.

                The people whom live within and those that visit, the welcoming vibe, it’s not a castle, it’s your place and space and you’re happy and always welcome

                      The personal touches and posessions that add to the "feeling" within the house that makes it a home.

I can invite who I like into my home and I can provide a safe environment to my family and my beautiful grandchildren and enjoy the company of my partner and companion animals.

Not that I go out much these days, but can hardly wait to get home and close the front door of my sanctuary and keep the miseries of the world at bay. Well, in an ideal world that would be possible but we need to create some kind of Utopia for the sake of sanity.

To me home is where I have my lovely hubby and daughter (who lives with us) and also another daughter and granddaughter who visit us often. I especially feel at home when I walk in the front door after a long day and am greeted by someone I love. This is so very true if there is food cooking in the slow cooker that has been on all day and the house is full of great smells.

I have many photos on walls and shelves of those who have passed so our lads have a visual history of our lineage and can put a face to the stories. I like being surrounded by items that serve a purpose not for show.

When I was a kid it was my Mum and Dad who made our home. I live 2 ks from the beach and have often just gone and sat and watch the ocean and the whales passing by and I have a park and nature reserve one house up from me so this also adds to the peaceful surrounds broken only by the young boys riding their trail bikes full throttle through the streets and park.

I think we are spoiled if we are surrounded by nature. Love a good view of the sky, especially at night, with minimal distractions or lights.
