About This Quote

When people think of their front door, they often imagine a place of safety and comfort. However, the word front is a little misleading. The truth is that our front door can be a wonderful thing or a sight we dread. It can also be both.

When we walk through our front door each day, we often find ourselves in a terrible state. Our home may be old and dirty, and it may be difficult to keep clean and comfortable. But there is another side to our front door – one of freedom and joy.

We can leave this house, explore the world around us, and make new friends – all at the same time as we settle into our new home.
