The Feeling of Home

Home is not just a building with three levels, a kitchen, bedrooms and washrooms. Home is a lot more than just where you sleep and eat. Home, a place full of peace and trust, where you feel welcomed by family that cares about you. At home you will always feel like you fit in like a book on the shelf. Home is a place where you start and end a day of joy and laughter or a day of boredom and stress. It’s a place where you gain more interests and leave some behind and let your creativity flow. Judgment free - a comforting, safe and harmless place to make mistakes, learn from them and help each other grow. At home you can always look to your past and see how far and amazing you’ve become and changed. Home, a place where you can be secure with the warmth under a blanket or in a snug, cozy bed. Where you can act silly and all over the place where you wouldn’t anywhere else. A place where you will always be happy and delighted to be with family. A home is a place that you will always want to keep coming back to. Home is a place to relax and enjoy a book, TV or even a tasty meal. Home can really be anything like a sentimental photo, a drawing or even scattered toys on the floors. The feeling of home is also the people you live with that share great laughs and memories that you’ll never forget. It is a comfortable place to start new goals and accomplish the old. Home is where you can be you! Thank you so much, Habitat for Humanity, for Building homes for the families that can make them home.
