What is home?
For many people it is where they live, however as this is regularly changing I believe the consistent factor is yourself. For me, home is a place of security and I am the only person who can be responsible for my security. I create my security in me, which is why I agree with the following quote on Twitter. Home is myself.
Home is a person. If you're lucky, home is yourself.

When I think about the factors that make home myself—I think of my personal values.
Harmony
Open-mindedness
Mindful motivation
Expressiveness
As home is myself when life gets tough I take a few moments, recentre myself wherever I am around the world and recharge. I hold the power and can go home, wherever and whenever, I choose. It’s a powerful skill—going home for me doesn’t need to wait for my physical return to my residential address in Australia.
I am in total agreement with you. When I need to, I go home into myself and not my physical abode. Good one. Do visit when you can. Regards http://acookingpotandtwistedtales.wordpress.com/
I understand this perfectly. It explains why so many pages of my travel diaries end with “got home at [time]”, regardless of where we’re staying.
Great personal values and wonderful idea of home – I agree home is more than a place -love your thoughts! I’ve always thought of it as Harmony Of Mind (on) Earth -but like the idea of really thinking of it in qualities you mentioned
🙂
Thanks. I am glad they connected with you.
Well said. I think that I feel the same way?
Thank you
I agree. We live from within ourselves. Great post.
