Happy Halloween!
A year ago around this time, I made a post about Samhain and new beginnings. About how much had changed, sweeping out the old to make room for the new. About dreams and all we wished for.
A fabulous friend and neighbor brought up just how a couple months ago we sat around a table and discussed these crazy dreams of ours. Crazy, impossible, and yet filled our notebooks.
Now, at 10:30 at night (might have written this a couple of weeks ago), I sit in my new home, from the very floor to the ceiling. The couches are mismatched and second hand. There's an ugly carpet in between them that somehow manages to fit both colors. But, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
It is mine. From the floor to the ceiling. The walls will be painted. Our stuff will be unboxed and displayed in just the right place. There are already pots of flowers outside thanks to tat same fabulous friend. And, I have my most bosom buddy and kindred spirit beside me throughout this entire journey, not to mention the community around us.
It's taken a very hard year. Full of sweat and tears. Full of friends and bonds we wouldn't trade for anything. It's taken us a year, but my very best friend and I have found our way home.
Happy Halloween and a magical Samhain!
