Positivity: Home

There really is no place like home.

It is amazing how good it feels to return to the place where you have your stuff. Not just your stuff, but your base of operations. It is your sanctuary, your refuge, your castle, your domain, you inner sanctum. Home.

It does not matter what form it takes, nearly everyone has some place that they can call home.

For some, home is not a literal place. It is a time, a person, an experience that brings them that sense of placement and comfort. Home is more of an abstract concept, in which one can bask in relaxation and find calm.

Home is where the heart is. Home is that place that makes you feel grounded, content, connected, whole. Home is the idea that you belong somewhere, that you are a cog in a greater machine.

For some people home is that place where you are surrounded by friends and chosen family, enjoying a drink and a laugh and time together. For some home is that tiny room, seemingly cramped but perfect for you to escape the pressures of the day and retreat into a book or some other personal comfort. The what of home is not important, it is the effect of it that matters.

Creating and having such a place is an incredible generator of positivity. We all need a place we call our own, no matter the location, size or composition. We matter how nomadic we are, there is a place we call home, and it brings us peace and comfort.

Home can be a transient place. Home can also be more than one locale. Home is the campsite I just spent a week at with my friends, it is the place where I lay my head and keep my things, it is the store I work at and helped to build. All bring about that positive energy of having a place I call my own, and all have a different role in fostering positivity.

No matter where and what you call home, there is no place like it. Home is a place to reset and recharge your batteries, and allows you to find and create positive energies in the world.

Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. Knowing that there is no place like home, and the heart and soul can rest within that place, you have somewhere from whence to store positivity. When we give our personal space, permanent or transitory, the attention it deserves, we can use that base to build anything we desire. Home is a great place for finding, creating, and ultimately sharing positivity. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.

This is the twenty eighth entry of my Positivity series.  It is my hope these weekly messages might help spread positive energies for everyone.  Feel free to re-blog and spread the positivity.
