The Daring Dreamhouse
Every single person has a dream of a forever home. A forever home is a place that we want to spend the rest of our lives living. This is a secure place where the rest of the word can not harm or touch us. Sometimes our dreams of that home expand out to a bigger area as we grow older. If someone were to ask me as a kid what my dream home would be then that would be a very different answer than I would give now. The person that I have grown into over the years has that dream expanded out to reach the place I would like it to reach. My dream home is another world altogether of its own.

My Little Dream Home
I decided to take up the Dream Home challenge because it's something I think about a lot. The picture above is a Vision Board I made recently just for fun. When I became disabled (I'm not in a wheelchair, but I'm nearly housebound for a variety of reasons) I wound up moving to a small place that had belonged to my grandparents, then my parents, and when they died, it became mine. It's located in a remote area of Eastern Kentucky on land that has been in my family since the 1800s. I'm on a mountain next door to my closest family, though I only see them a few times a month when I happen to be outside as they bring my mail up from the road. I love it here most of the time, but the structure has seen better days and now that I'm alone and on disability, things are going steadily downhill. If I had unlimited funds, I'd hire a professional crew to clean it out, reinforce the floor and fix the leaky roof. New siding would be nice, too. Plus I need a new back door because a bear damaged mine trying to get in one night. (It nearly succeeded!)

The Dream on the Enchanting Lagoon
In a field surrounded by wildflowers and butterflies, is a charming, picturesque cottage that is big enough for two. Old stone bricks make up the structure, with vibrant vines caressing its exterior. Smoke is always gently flowing from the chimney and a soft glow of golden light shines through the windows at night, while the crickets sing and the bullfrogs chirp in a nearby creek. Inside, a warm fire is crackling within the fireplace and the smell of cinnamon wafts through the intimate space as the kettle begins its loud whistle. A round, distressed, white, table with matching chairs occupies most of the space, with knitted, turquoise placemats in front of the chairs; a yellow, porcelain vase holds fresh flowers from the garden in the back yard. Beside the fire is a worn, but entirely too comfortable, wing chair, with a stack of books resting on the side table to its left. Beautiful paintings of meadows and willow trees decorate the walls. Up the wooded stairs is a...Wait. I’m describing Miss Honey’s cottage from Matilda, aren’t I? Sorry! Let me start again.

The cabin of my dreams
Nestled between rolling green hills and a sparkling lake full of color and life, surrounded by trees and natural light, my dream would be a small wooden cabin there. Sitting several meters in the back yard a garden full of vegetables and fruit trees would bring tonight's dinner. A small patio provides the perfect spot to sit and drink a hot cup of coffee or Indian chai. The organic sounds of nature flowing around me bring peace to my home, soul, and mind.
