Home of Happiness

Be it a hut of bamboo and palm frond roof maybe a hut made of straw and mud, or a stone dwelling with unglazed windows. It is not what a home is made of that counts but about what resides inside. A spirit of happiness is what truly makes a house a home. written 01/26/2015 contest: Home Sweet Home
