Life's a Beach

I would like to believe that I will be able to live in this house for at least five more years so that I can save more money. But, my daughter is going to be 18 this October, which she seems to have mixed feelings about. On one hand she doesn’t want to grow up because it means more responsibility which, like many of us, weren’t ready. Some of us still aren’t.

Knowing from the beginning that I wouldn’t be living here for a long time and since I never had much money, I decided not to buy anything that I knew I could do without. There were already shades on the windows, for instance. I liked the window blinds that were in one of the foster homes that I lived in. And at one time I thought about getting some. But I never did. I don’t have any regrets about it, though. I’ve been happy with the shades. I have never put much emphasis on decorating.

That reminds me. I haven’t yet visualized what I want my new home in California to look like. Right now I’ve got myself sitting on the sand listening to the ocean and writing about it on my laptop. Heh. I certainly can’t live out there all the time, now, can I? That’s my outside sanctuary. I want one for inside, too, So I can slip under the covers in my cozy bed.
