Not really. But for the last week, this is the way I've felt. If ever a blog has been so aptly named, this week, Her Head in the Clouds is EXACTLY what I have been. I am in love...with my life. I am happy and content. Even the summer cold from hell cannot take me down.
I closed on my new house last Thursday, July 7. I spent the next few days arranging, rearranging and organizing this special place until everything felt just right. I used to have a chair in the old house that was my sanctuary from life. This entire house feels that way. I miss my old neighbors being so close, but I also know they are only a 5 minute or less drive away if I need them.
Some of the things I love about this house:
The front porch...I have had my coffee out there every single morning.
The smaller size
The window above my kitchen sink
My new fridge
Having the big t.v. in my living room and no t.v. in my bedroom
Being able to make every. single. decision. myself.
While everything is in it's final place, I cannot handle the white walls. Every single wall in this house is white. Stark white! So, over the next year I will be transforming the inside of this house into a beautiful collection of colors that will make my heart even more happy.
The icing on the cake was Thursday night when my dad embraced me and told me how proud he is of me. I LOVE my life.
I don't care if this makes me sound silly & emotional - I'm so proud of you for recognizing your own strength. And having your dad affirm that for you made me cry.
ReplyDeleteHere's to you -
a home with happy endings,
where more joy than sorrow rules.
A future full of smiles,
the past left with the fool.
