Riley Jan 5 2021 Home When I open my door and walk inside I feel the warm air rush into my face and I feel all the warmth around me. I smell the warm baking of chocolate chip cookies in the oven and then I shut the door behind me. I take my sweater off put it on the bottom of the stairs and I am home from my wonderful walk on the sunny day. In my home I feel comforted by my loved ones and I feel safe. The warm air falls on to my body. Which takes the cold chill off my body. My mood changes when I see the fire place burning and I see my loved ones and they all give me nice hugs. When I see my dog my mood turns happy I see my dog all cuddled up on the couch in the living room. At my home I feel loved when I smell the nice chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven. When they are baking I go help them do the second batch of cookies and we all make jokes and were all having a good laugh. When were done with the cookies I go up stairs I shut my door behind me and I play with my bay blades and relax. Then when the second batch of cookies are done we all go up stairs to all go and relax. When I get home from my wonderful walk I hang my sweater up and I see my dog come running down the stairs and come and greet me at the door. Then I go up stairs because that’s were Finn came from. When I get up stairs I feel safe when I see the tv on and see my family sitting there and watching tv. I go into the tv room and get a big hug from my family then I sit down on the couch and watch tv with them and I know I’m home. My home to me feels unique to me. I feel the warm air rush on to me like a fan just turned on. Cooking with my mom and my sister. being near my belongings it makes me feel safe, cozy, warm and loved. That’s what home means to me.
