Home Is Where You Feel Safe and Can Be Trusted

I feel so calm when I’m in my bed with a heated blanket with pillows surrounding me watching my favorite show, with my dog laying beside me. I feel loved when my family gets around the table to play games such as board games and card games or just talk about our plans for the next day. I feel safe that I have a door for privacy and a home can’t be a home with no doors because it just won't feel right. I feel comfortable when my parents sit on the coach with me to talk about my secrets, feelings, and to have my back. I feel relaxed when I’m laying down on my trampoline clearing my mind on a nice warm day. I feel confident when I’m at my desk drawing people, or animals or calling my friends. I feel refreshed when I go in my bathtub with nice warm water, sometimes bubbles, watching a show. I feel grateful and thankful that Habitat for Humanity are taking their time and effort to work hard on making homes for people in need to feel safe in, to have a roof over their heads, and to create new memories.
