Prompt:
Describe what home looks like for your Blog entry today.


-----------

A home, to me, is a place that feels warm, inviting, and one that meets my needs. Most people pay so much attention to the façade of a home that they forget what goes on inside it.

Surely, a manicured lawn, a well- kept building, and a welcoming front door or porch creates a first good impression on others. To me, however, what matters is in the inside, although I pay yearly the lawn people, pest control, pressure cleaners, and the like much more than I pay for the inside of my present home.

The living space inside my home was created and kept up by my husband and me since the early 1990s and I still have almost the same furnishings, except for my bedroom, when five years ago I had its rug removed and had it tiled and refurnished for health reasons.

In an average nice (!) home, bedrooms have soft lighting and calming colors and the bathrooms have good lighting and plenty of storage. Kitchens, unlike mine, are large and easy to maintain, and they can even have a dining nook or table. I. however, don't pay much attention to such details, nowadays. If those places are usable enough, that's okay by me, as long as I can keep my things, my books, computer and related devices, and I can relax and live quietly in what I call my home.

Then, when all is said and done, a true home is where one lives with their loved ones, where its living arrangements meet everyone's needs. It's a place where people feel comfortable, safe, and at ease.
