Interesting thought

I received my copy of the Oprah magazine an read it while I did my hour on the treadmill tonight. I came across an interesting idea in it.  A women had written that after being married for 23 years, raising a child and also conforming to others wishes (she liked sunlight in her room, her gusband wanted (and got) total darkness), she decided she wanted to stay married but have a place to ecape to…to be herself. No distractions, things where she left them when she came home (now there’s a novel idea…a clean kitchen when you get home). I have to tell you I LIKE that idea. I have NEVER had a room to call my own. Hell, I don’t even  have a corner to call my own. I went from my parents house, sharing a room with 2 sisters then one until I got married. then on to my husbands room. I have never lived on my own, how sad and pathetic is that? I like the idea of having a place to escape to…to read, to dream, to be surrounded by things I love, to have aplace to write with no one questioning me what I was writing and why I was writing about it.  I really would love to do this…only problem…..no money….lol What else is new? Oh well, maybe one day.

I hope you find a way to do that, even without using money. It’s a great idea. We both have our own places in our home.

I was just thinking today about how much I would love to have a place away from here in the desert that I could retreat to whenever I needed to get away. I would live there in the winter and then come back here in the summer when it is gorgeous. Someday I am sure this will happen,just got to figure out how to pay for it 🙂

as you know, i am now living on my own for the first time in my life. i have been on my own for two years now. and yes, it does take money. that’s for sure. i have to work and sometimes it is hard to make ends meet. somehow, i am making it. and i have to be honest and say i love my apartment and having my independence. i hope someday you experience this freedom. much love,
