I think that we can be at home anywhere but to what degree depends perhaps on whether we are truly at home in our own skin...with ourselves.<br />If we are running from something in us or uncomfortable with ourselves, not at peace etc., then I think even "home" doesn't feel like home.<br /><br />Then again, some places take a little more determination to get used to than others and some perhaps never feel like home. :)<br /><br />Thinking of you and wishing you only beauty today!

If you move to a place because of change of work or change of status (marriage) and you like your new work or status - that's where home is, and you should make the utmost to feel good in this place.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-57291558426215283142011-07-13T11:45:20.978+05:302011-07-13T11:45:20.978+05:30home constantly changes - one place or the other b...home constantly changes - one place or the other but at a given time only only 2 places are home - my parent's home and my home.

I have lived in shabby motel rooms, under bridges in plastic tarp tents. These places all felt more like home to me than some of the houses I have shared with roommates. I personally believe it takes shared lives and love to make a home, or if not that; a complete comfort in your own skin which of course is love.photos by janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931922143998773384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-8783818894419142722011-07-13T07:54:36.634+05:302011-07-13T07:54:36.634+05:30My response is very simple... where ever my famili...My response is very simple... where ever my families are it is home....!Savira Guptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17463773284421101573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-74305432661660597392011-07-12T22:05:29.901+05:302011-07-12T22:05:29.901+05:30Home is any place I can sleep well.Home is any place I can sleep well.Sameerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16387105701575296119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-41910184856602966332011-07-12T20:41:45.199+05:302011-07-12T20:41:45.199+05:30I think to earn the term "home" a house ...I think to earn the term "home" a house has to have a lot of shared memories within it.

A home is where there are many happy times to be remembered , where you cherish the time you spend there. It is far more than just a place where you eat, sleep, and spend time. You feel at peace, and find it a place to both relax and have fun. I think the people you share the space under the roof help determine whether you live in a house or a home.Larry Lewishttp://www.healthylifestylesblog.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-68460800405260090282011-07-12T17:09:16.945+05:302011-07-12T17:09:16.945+05:30i think it is a home but is often not seen as one....i think it is a home but is often not seen as one...we treat it as if it will be here forever and can do what ever we want...i think home is about a deeper connection...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-48155037393656163182011-07-12T15:53:12.171+05:302011-07-12T15:53:12.171+05:30Hey Susan, I wish I could act a little too big for...Hey Susan, I wish I could act a little too big for my boots and announce - THe world is my home but sadly I haven't acted that way in my life.
