Meaning of Home

How do you feel about your home? I feel happy, relaxed and hopeful at my home. There is a lot of music we listen to when we’re bored. I like the smell of a candle and blowing it out. Me and my mom like looking out the window. These are all part of what home means to me. The calm sounds I hear from our Google home, like ocean waves, forest sounds, and heavy rain. The sounds make me calm and happy after a long or stressful day. They also help me sleep at night. Every time my mom cooks fish, she will light a lavender candle in the kitchen. I really like the smell of the candle. It takes away the smell of fish from the kitchen. Looking at the flame makes me calm When I walk toward the window I see some animals like deer and birds. I like looking at them because it makes me feel calm, happy, and suprised. I see them walking and flying. I always look out the window for fun or when I'm bored. In my house, I also feel loved and cared for. I really like listening to music after a stressful day. There are lots of different smells and a lot to see.You can look through a window and see lots of things. Home is not just a house, it’s also the people who are there with you.
