Sometimes, through change one finds harmony

I'm in my late 40's at that pre-geriatric age

where I'm too young for my Senior's Discount,

yet knee deep into middle-age.

I need my glasses for distance and

to remove them for reading.

And, I've learned not to be too

concerned about the clarity of

anything in between.

Circumstances have required me to be

independent and self-reliant.

I have found harmony

in my  'quirky little rental' .

Awhile back I had the privilege of entertaining

a couple for dinner. 

One of my guests refers to themselves

at times as an 'energy reader'. 

My home contains many eclectic pieces.

A juxtaposition of today and of those of long ago.

I have pieces that belonged to my family

(such as Gram's table) as well as

those belonging to other families of long ago.

During our visit he commented that he often

felt 'conflicted' and 'overwhelmed' by the entity previous owners;

in a home such as mine that contains so many different originating pieces. 

'Everyone' vying for the space.  

I am honored and in awe to say that he also said

he didn't feel that in my home.

My home and all it's treasures (to me anyway)

'live' in peace.

How fascinating that one described how the house 'feels'.

We often indicate a house feels 'cozy' 'warm' 'inviting' when

speaking, but to have this be said of my home..

With the past  of the pieces and of their places,

my past and into tomorrow a self reflection

of the last number of years, I especially found his
comments intriguing.
I too feel 'at harmony' in my space.

As for me and my 'quirky little rental'

we welcome you as I plan for this,

my second Christmas here with all

of my 'guests'.
