Couched in Comfort

We've been in our new house for more than four months now. We started with beds, four bean bag chairs, and some folding tables. In early January we got a dining room table. It was glorious to have a place to eat together. On Sunday we finally purchased a couch for our living room. Now we have a place to sit together all snuggled up.

One little step at a time we make this house more of a home. When we got here, we were just so overwhelmed with gratitude to have a roof that was our own again furniture was an afterthought. Then it became a chore to try and find affordable perfection.

Back in March of 2017, I wrote every day about things that were not mine. It was a healing journey of memory and gratitude for what I had lost but also for what we had gained and held on to.

I still reach for the missing light switches that were once here but are now in different places. I still reach for the laundry chute that is no more. But right now I've got my feet up and feel comfortable as ever.
