Welcome to a Secret Subject Swap. This week 7 brave bloggers picked a secret subject for someone else and were assigned a secret subject to interpret in their own style. Today we are all simultaneously divulging our topics and submitting our posts.
My “Secret Subject” is:
What is one thing you would change about your current home?

This is so funny! Thanks, Karen! Two years ago I lived in a beautiful 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home in a gated community. It was a beautiful home. The picture below is of that house.
When I moved out I was happier even though I had yet to find the home that I was going to move into. Think about that. I wanted out of that house so badly that I was willing to be homeless for a little while. You see, it might have been a beautiful home, but it was filled with bad memories. Illnesses, death, family problems, and a broken leg and I couldn’t wait to get away from it.
The depression I felt when I walked out of that house was smothering. I have started over so many times in my life each time having learned hard lessons along the way.
I spent a year in a tiny apartment healing my heart, mind, and body. I fixed relationships that had been badly hurt and ended others that were toxic. Recently, we moved into a mobile home and I have never been happier!
It just goes to show that it doesn’t much matter what’s on the outside if the inside is full of love, compassion, and understanding. For the first time in my life, I am only responsible for myself. It’s clean, it’s convenient and we have a great big yard for the kids to play in. It’s home.
I love the house on the main image. That would be a dream house.
You are still looking for your “home”?

You could not be more right, and I’m so glad that tough period is behind you and you’re happy again.
Home is where you heart is.
In my opinion some people focus way too much on decorating as opposed to actually enjoy (it includes the word JOY, and it’s not a coincidence) living in their house.
Glad you are happy where you are now.
Home is where your heart is and the ones you love, not necessarily in the same place, house or state. It really is a state of mind. We have moved over 50 times and some I have loved more than others. Currently we have a huge home but two years ago we were happy campers in a tiny apartment. I hope your current situation fills your heart.

Love knowing you’ve found a happy place.
As they say, home is where you hang your hat, right? I feel as long as the place is yours — and you feel secure and happy, that’s what matters the most. I’m finally catching up on visiting some of these challenges! I’m a bit behind!
