Be Grateful and thankful

Home is a place to relax. Home costs money, my parents money so I have to be grateful. Grateful means being thankful, being thankful means being grateful. I have to be grateful and thankful for the warmth, the cool, the comfort and all the many amazing feelings home holds. Home is the best. it's not just the feelings home gives you it's also the things you can do at home. The gift of screens, Musical instruments, Siblings, Games outside of screens and of course the beautiful outdoors. PLaying in your driveway. Soccer, Basketball, hide and seek, tag, whatever I can think of doing on my driveway. Home is different from a house though. When I say “Home costs money, my parents money so I have to be grateful”, I mean the monetary value of what's INSIDE my beautiful home. But whenever I say “house” I always mean the monetary value of my actual house. NOT inside my house. The difference to me is that home is the feelings, the vibes, the amazing things you can do, but a house holds the home together, it protects the home, it saves the home, it saves the people in the home. Anyone can have a home, but not a house. But the worst part is, some people don’t have a house. They don’t have the privileges we have, the feelings, the protection, the entertainment we have. They only have the outdoors. But not the beautiful outdoors, not the fun on the driveway. They have the BAD SIDE of the outdoors. The cold, not the cool, not the warmth but the scorching pain of the sun's heat. So WE as the people with homes, have to be grateful. Being Grateful means being thankful, being thankful means being grateful. WE have to be grateful and thankful for the characteristics home gives to us.
