What have I done now.....

I fell in love with an old house.  A very old house.  1850 kind of old.  It stole my heart (and possibly my mind as well - at least the rational thinking part of my mind).  A very long divorce made it necessary to sell the house that I loved.  Now I begin again.  On my own.  With my daughters and my little dog who is my constant partner and my imagination of what could be.  I am taking on this old house which I realize is almost a metaphor for where I am in my life --- a bit broken - craving some attention and looking for revival.  As I take on each project to come I will be polishing myself off too.  Soon both this old house and I will be ready to take on the world again and greet the future with a smile.
