While the house may not be totally mine, the porch swing is. It was a gift from someone who may not always be in my life, but I will always remember him as one of the most giving people I’ve ever had the privilage to know. When it’s warm outside, I sit on my swing and just remember everything that has happened in my life. It is one the most liberating possessions I have now.

I was 25 years old when I bought my house. Everyone I had been in school with thought I was crazy. But I had a dream. Remember the song, ”.... 2 cats in the yard. Life use to be so hard…” that was my theme song. My dream came true. Many people saw the dream in my eye and came together to help me make it a reality.
My first night here I slept like a baby. I woke up knowing I had done the right thing. And I have never regretted it for a minute.
It takes at lot of work. Maybe 10 hours a month to maintain the inside and the outside and do projects. I try to do one home improvement project per weekend. I’ll never get it all done. But as long as I keep moving forward, I’ll keep my chin up. And it is very gratifing to look and see a door or a new light fixture and say, “Hey! I did that!”
I am looking forward to renovating the bath and laundry room and remaking a bedroom into a new living room in the coming year. That is my next big project. Stay tuned!

This is one part of my happy ending. First I have to find the man who makes me smile everytime I look into his beautiful eyes. Second, figure out where we’ll spend the remainder (barring any bad outside influences) of our life, then third, have my house with my swing. As you grow older, you can sit on the porch swing and just watch the world go by. Be an observer, which I think is the best way to live through life. I want to be 90 years old, sitting on my front porch, knitting, with my grandchildren running all around me. Maybe someday I could at least have the swing.
