Home is to me...

Some people travel all over the world to find what they think is home but for me home is like a fire place. It's toasty and filled with joy and happiness. The perfect moment is when you are cuddling with your pet or sitting next to someone that you are cuddling with...your pet or maybe next to someone that you love. There is nothing better than a home. The four walls that have surrounded you throughout your whole life...your first steps...first words...everything that you have done up until this very moment make a home. But home is not just a thing. It is also a feeling. The feeling of laughter, joy and love. The feeling of being accepted and cared for. The feeling of accomplishment, belonging and warm memories. Home is also something that you can touch. The touch of your comfortable bed, the old door mat that has been there forever or the feeling of your fluffy dog on your lap keeping you warm. A house stays still but a home always goes with you. No matter where you are...a home is always a part of you.
