A Comfortable Life

A Comfortable Life

I am learning that I like to be comfortable.

Relationships - my spaces - my life in general -
most especially where I live.

Have you ever entered into another's 'space' and realized

that either

their level of 'comfort' is

above or

below your own?

What is  a definition of your 'perfect' life?

What factors are considered?

What will make you feel 'comfortable'?

This is a picture of the back yard of the home we purchased in 2002.

We closed on our new home on Halloween day of all days!

It looks 'spooky' in this picture, does it not?

When we first purchased our home -

it had been severely neglected in regards to the yard.

I actually went searching for these pictures to remind myself

that our home was not perfect

when we first bought it -

at least in regards to the back spaces and yard.

The front however is really not that bad at all!

This is what we did to the yard in 15 years:

Recently, my husband and I have been looking for our 'mountain home'

it's time to find a different level of 'comfort'.

In that process,

I realize that what I consider 'comfortable' -

isn't what another person would think.

Homes that others are selling - are comfortable to them

and yet I am not ready to go 'down' in comfort.

This is 'comfort' to me

At least where I spend most of my time!

Creature comforts to me are

running water

flushing toilets

 a shower (not in my living space)

space for some of my stuff

and in general 'comfort'!

I have camped -

I have spent time in a tent -

I've cooked over a camp stove

however, that was all temporary!

Our latest venture - every one of these items were missing.

Don't get me wrong, it would be great for some people

but I was thankful my hubby said

'This just won't work for us'!

Whew!!

*And yes, I am not joking -

they had a shower stall

in the 'living area'!!

Laughter aside - we're still looking!

We're still trying to meet all of our

'creature comfort' needs -

and afford to be in the mountains!

We would love to have this view:

Doesn't hurt to dream, right?

Along the line of 'comforts'

our new home will have to have land.

Not a gully washout road,
hair raising drive to the house

Not in the middle of another property!

Dreaming?

Probably - but hey -

if you don't keep after your dreams

you've already lost the battle!

There are also times that being 'too comfortable' won't

challenge you to make changes.

Thus the mountain picture.

It is something we're striving for-

dreaming for

our own personal take on

A Comfortable Life!
