Prompt: What is a happy home to you? Write about this in your Blog entry today. --------- At this point in my life, a happy home is a place or rather a situation where I have freedom to be myself. But then, I always was myself, at different stages of my life and with different or changing, maybe revolving, family members. I say revolving because my sons take turns to be around me nowadays, after they've flown the coup, and sometimes we manage for all of us to be together, even though other very important family members are not here, anymore, Yet, those who are deceased are still with us in our hearts and memories. For me, a happy home is where, in addition to be myself and other members to be comfortable enough to be themselves, love is practiced all the time, laughter is common, and every member feels like they belong. This means much more than a physical space, but an environment where everyone feels accepted, valued, supported. and safe. This means respect, communication, encouragement and much understanding among the people in this happy home. When we achieve these things and such cooperation, then we find that the time spent with the others in our home is one of quality and stability where we all feel we truly belong. |
