I am currently living my life in two cities. In one I am surrounded by years of life; the walls, the pictures, the decoration, the neighborhood....The other I have trees, water, a new canvas to decorate, and a quietness that is so soothing. Life between "home" and the Lake house is drastically different. When I am home on the lake I don't feel the pressure to put on makeup, dress up, rush around - I just go and be still. If I want to do, I do...if I don't, I don't. There, I am so far from the rat race of normal life that it's hard to imagine it even exists. At the home in the 'hood, there is a suburbia feel all around. When I come home from work it takes me a while to dial back and relax. I look around the house and I see...stuff (and dust - but, mostly stuff).
I don't feel like I am home here any longer - my heart wants to be at the lake. OUR home.
My time during Rich's deployment will be making the Lake home our Home. To simplify, downsize, and enjoy the coziness of a small home!
Peace!
