Love is the most important thing that makes a house a home\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>While the rest of these aren\u2019t really in order, love is definitely the most important one of all. As long as you have that, anyplace can become home. I\u2019d know I\u2019d rather live in a cave in the woods surrounded by loved ones than in a castle on a hill all alone. How about you?\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>2. Home is where we share our hopes and dreams\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>A true home is a place that\u2019s safe to share our hopes. It\u2019s where we find inspiration and discover our passions. Where we\u2019re free to make mistakes, and where our loved ones give us the courage to go after our dreams.\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>3. It\u2019s where we make our fondest memories\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Home is where we share laughter and make our greatest memories that we\u2019ll cherish for a lifetime. It\u2019s where there\u2019s always room for those we love, and everyone always belongs (even the people we sometimes disagree with!).\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>4. Home is where we find shelter from even the worst of life\u2019s storms\u2026\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Life is full of storms, some far worse than others. Home is the one place where we can always find shelter, where we can go to feel safe and secure. It\u2019s where we\u2019re reminded that even the worst storms can\u2019t last forever. It\u2019s where we find our optimism, our sunshine, and our will to keep going through the darkest days.\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>5. \u2026and where the light is always on\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>More than just a shelter from a storm, home is a lighthouse that shines bright through the foggiest night so that we can always find out way back to it. No matter how old we get, no matter how far away we go, it\u2019s the one place that always leaves a light on for us.\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>6. Home is the one place we can go and not be questioned\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Speaking of \u201chow far we go,\u201d at some point we all leave home. Someday, our kids will leave it, too. But even if we travel across the world, we\u2019ll always know that it\u2019s there waiting for us. We know that if we fall or fail, we can go back and find comfort without question.\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>7. It\u2019s a place that stays the same no matter how much you change\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>The quote below by F. Scott Fitzgerald says it all. Home stays the same no matter how much we change. I don\u2019t mean that in the outward sense. Sure, the d\u00e9cor may be different. Heck, maybe even the location is different. But that feeling that we get when we walk through the door is always the same, and that\u2019s just so reassuring.\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>8. It truly is the nicest word there is!\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>There\u2019s truly no nicer word than \u201chome,\u201d and there\u2019s nothing quite like coming back to it. If you don\u2019t believe me, pay attention to how you feel the next time you walk in the door after a vacation. It\u2019s like wrapping yourself up in the comfiest pair of pajamas and snuggling deep into a warm, cozy blanket.\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>9. Home is people, plain and simple\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Home is not a place or a structure. It\u2019s not about the four walls. It\u2019s about the people that live within those walls. So, it doesn\u2019t matter if you spend your entire life in one place or move around every year. As long as you\u2019re surrounded by the people you love and who love you in return, you\u2019re home.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Bottom line, whether you live in the grandest mansion in Beverly Hills, a shanty by the sea, or the teeniest tiny home in the woods, size truly doesn\u2019t matter when it comes to what truly makes a house a home. Neither does location, d\u00e9cor or pretty much anything else that you can buy with money.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Home truly is where the heart is, and without heart, even the grandest manor is nothing more than a house.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
