Musings anniversary, cottage house, home 10:53 am
It has been more than “awhile” since I’ve posted on this blog—I have been blessed to be incredibly busy and active in my life as a librarian since January 1—but I wanted to take pause for a moment and celebrate my two year anniversary in my little cottage house. While much work remains to be done that I may never have the money to do, I am proud of the improvements I have made in two years. I love coming home to my comfortable little cottage—it so feels like home and like me…it is my little haven.
Sometimes I can still hardly believe I was able to buy this house, but I am very grateful for my home, especially in these very troubling economic times. I hope to celebrate many more years in my 1950s cottage house!
Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home.
