Appreciate Everything, Especially Your Home.

A house is not just wood, walls, roof, and rooms there’s more than, that’s a home for example.. Home is the place to eat your warm cooked meals made by your Mom or Dad. At home we can see and adore our pets dogs, cats, birds and gold fishes! And did you know in your home you can make a lot of memories and not realize it, just like I realized I made a ton of memories in my home and I never realized all of them. I made so many incredible memories with my family, my dog, my other pets, and guests that would come over for a party. Home is a place where memories never go away, home is also a place where all your memories are made. In your home you are so lucky to have the electricity on, water, and someone paying all your utilities. Some people can’t even afford all of that even their mortgage or rent and they might get evicted. But have you realized other people have no homes? Maybe because they got kicked out, they couldn't pay their mortgage/rent or ran away because of something their parent/s did. Home for me is a place where my Mom makes this amazing traditional dish from the Philippines, pork adobo! The scent fills the whole house with all our clothes smelling like adobo or biting into the spicy peppercorn that’s in the adobo!
