HOW TO HELP FOSTER A 'HOME SWEET HOME' SENSE OF HEARTH WHILE LIVING WITH AN ADULT PERSON YOUNGER OR SIGNIFICANTLY YOUNGER THAN YOURSELF WHOM YOU ACTUALLY ENJOY LIVING WITH AND YOU ACTUALLY FEEL EMOTIONALLY DEVOTED TO IN YOUR AND THEIR RENTAL APARTMENT OR HOME:

---Keep a computer file of your own that cites each of the apparent platonic passions of your roommate or housemate. If your younger roommate or housemate adores a particular sport, for instance, this can remind you to pursue some research to find out the next scheduled event of that type that will be hosted in your county or metro area or state. You could then find out how much it would cost to purchase tickets to a sports competition event of that type.

You can also help to "make your younger roommate's day" by yourself writing to an outstanding professional athlete or Olympics champion in that particular sport and asking that famous athlete to mail to you a photograph of themselves along with a personal message politely addressed to your roommate on a first-name basis. You could then give that photograph to your adult younger roommate as a very inspirational present for them.

---Find out how and where you can purchase a fragrant floral arrangement of dried flowers and other dried botanical plants that can exhilarate the nostrils of your roommate or housemate on a daily and year-round basis. You could then place a dried-flowers or dried-plants floral arrangement of that type in at least two rooms of your and your roommate's rental-housing unit. If your younger roommate or housemate also believes in aromatherapy, it is likely that that roommate or housemate will feel a year-round boost to their own morale from the fragrant floral presence in your apartment or home.

--Consider posting an "Interesting Fact of the Week" board somewhere in the living room or kitchen area of your apartment or home where you are living together, with the clear understanding that only facts that have been verified as accurate will be posted. The delight that your roommate or housemate will experience from that Interesting Fact of the Week display will also give you a vicarious thrill.

---Make a point of attempting to cook for your adult younger roommate or housemate one new healthy-eating recipe per month inside your shared-living apartment or home. If, for instance, you find a deliciously spicy spinach dish that is not high in saturated fats, you could prepare that dish and proudly present it to your younger roommate or younger housemate whom you actually enjoy living with.
