Ose1 year agoOseIn the house of my chosen mother, in front of the fireplace, where we sat together, sharing closeness through speaking, reading, singing or sharing stillness. I dearly love her and feel home being with her. While sitting next to my mother, holding her hand, sensing the peace we both found after I was inspired by true friends here to write to her about my honest appreciation for her.

I dearly love her and feel home being with her. While sitting next to my mother, holding her hand, sensing the peace we both found after I was inspired by true friends here to write to her about my honest appreciation for her. This changed all in our relationship and since, I feel home whenever I am having a chance to be with her. I am deeply grateful for both these beautiful women in my life.

Meditation retreats various parts of the world. Home is where the heart is, 1 Reply kayla1 year agokaylaI feel at home with myself when I step out of bed early, put sneakers on and walk out the door, leaving behind leftovers from yesterday and before encountering what will come today. This day I heard the early bellowing of frogs and passed a windowsill lined with a child’s stuffed bears facing outward beside a sign saying “sending bear hugs.” 3 Reply Tahsin Tabassum1 year agoTahsin Tabassumlibrary, bathroom, Starbucks, my bedroom, campus dining 2 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagAside from the obvious, my home, old libraries. There’s something comforting about being near shelves of old books, sitting at a comfortable table in an old chair. 3 Reply Tienman1 year agoTienmanIn the hammock that was under our huge apple tree, with my wife and daughter, in my room, on the worship team, in my chair with the cat on my lap. 4 Reply Mark Piper1 year agoMark PiperNanny and Papa’s apartment; my room in my childhood house; the comfort, contours, and familiarity of my own bed especially after having been away, reminds me, make me feel at home. I feel at home in many parts of Wisconsin. 5 Reply Hot Sauce1 year agoHot SauceI felt really at home when I was in college. I made a lot of friends; I started getting some clarity about my own spiritual journey; and I started to learn about real-world issues and what we can do to make the world better and live ethically. I miss it. Everything feels so confusing now. 3 Reply Colette1 year agoColetteI truly feel at home in the Golden Gate Park, which is near my house. It feels like a friend every time I ride my bike through it or take a walk. 3 Reply Travis1 year agoTravisIt’s various places. One of them is actually at school, because I have friends there, I’m normally there 40 hours a week. Being there is like a second home, and with the virus going on, I truly miss it. 1 Reply Josita1 year agoJositaI feel at home during my moments of contemplative sitting, heartfelt conversations with people I truly love, in nature with its peace and serenity 2 Reply 1 year agoif I remember, this question had already been published and I replied “at home, with my family”.

Now, like Pilgrim, I can add here, on this site, especially in the Lounge. But right now, with this lockdown lasting since three weeks, (partial lokdown since 40 days, total lockdown since three weeks) I am forced to stay at home. Yet I am grateful, because my house is large and I have an equally large and wonderful garden. I can work at home, I can use good technology, thanks to my husband who arranged it. Today I went to play sports in my garden, running four times around the perimeter, and then I did some stretching exercises, breathing this light spring air and I felt like I was in heaven. But what about people who have a small house, without balconies, without gardens, people who cannot peacefully share with other family members, forced to live in this way? I have no words. This is a sad thought.

Is it a physical definition, such as a place of residence or a place in the world that has good memories attached to it? Is it spiritual? Such as whom do I turn to, a God or whatever a higher power may be for me, when I need comfort or guidance? Or is it emotional, what other people do I feel connection with in this world?

Is it a physical definition, such as a place of residence or a place in the world that has good memories attached to it? Is it spiritual? Such as whom do I turn to, a God or whatever a higher power may be for me, when I need comfort or guidance? Or is it emotional, what other people do I feel connection with in this world? As I write this it is apparent it is all of the above for me, the meaning of home is not just attached to a place per se but a more broad definition.. the people, places and things of the world and those not of this world that invoke a sense of calm, peace and connection, a sense of “home” . It allows me to be open to new experiences of “home” as I come across however form they take in my daily life.. But with this all being said, I am grateful for all the amazing “places” in this world I have been blessed to live in or visit that feel like home and will continue to do so..

It has allowed me to be loud and just allowed me to be myself. 2 Reply Gerry1 year agoGerryNear trees, on my front porch, snorkeling the ocean, digging in the soil, beholding a desert sunset, watching a sky filled with soaring birds, and amazing clouds. I love open spaces. I feel truly at home as I peck out words on my mac. 5 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaAt my home, where I’ve lived since 2012. 5 Reply TeriB1 year agoTeriBI truly feel at home when I am with my family, immediate and extended. My husbands job has required our family of 4 to relocate often so I made a point a long time ago to make our home, no matter where, a place where we all find solace, feel love and comfort. I also feel most at home when I am in nature, bare feet with the sun shining down on me calms me 7 Reply Antoinette1 year agoAntoinetteHawaii was an amazing place to grow up. I truly felt at home there mostly because I spent most of my time in the water. So the ocean is where I feel deeply at easy. When I’m actually in any water I feel connected and in love. 7 Reply GCharlotte1 year agoGCharlottePlaces I have truelly felt at home- Sandy Hook National Park. 3 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
