How thankful are you for being home? What is home to you?
I ask this question because with my niece being in the hospital so much over the past few months she really appreciates being in her own bed and in her home. It's not the things that my sister and brother-in-law buy that make it a home, but the feelings that are there. Alia is allowed to roam free and not be in a sterile environment. One time when they were leaving the hospital, as the wind hit her face, Alia leaned back and put her arms straight out as if to say, "I'm free".
I love my house, it is my home; but for some reason, I love being at my parents house. I love to sit there and just be with them. Especially on nights when Jason isn't home. There's something about watching TV with my parents or reading the newspaper - anything in their home. I wonder if Jenna feels that way about our home. Is there just something about it that makes it comfortable?
Am I just completely rambling? Probably - but I hope that you understand what I mean. What makes a home and home? Where are you most comfortable? Are you truly grateful for your home?

My home is at home :) I never really felt at home at my parents houses..even when I lived there! But the home I've made with my family...THAT's home to me. It's comfort. It's the smells, the sounds...hard to explain.
You aren't Rambling at all. I liked your post and it made me think.
My home feels like home I think because I feel comfortable there, I feel Welcome, I feel Loved then with all of the Memories surrounding me makes it that much better. I also feel at home at my parents house and always have. I also have an older sister who's home feels like home as well.
I love my home. It feels like home. I believe that what truly makes a home is love - I love my husband and my cats, so it is a good home.
