I had most of my furniture in faith farm or habitat for humanity . my frinds came ot help me to sew curtains . some furniture were given to me by a girl freind throwing it away ond the old one of my husband . Nothing is classic or new still it began to look like a home . we mad a puzzle of anythign we had painting most in white . It give definitly the rustic touch warm thought. As I heard in france once and it staye din my head ``simple but confortable, modest but sufficiant. `` So lets had in the prayers the finding of a 3 famillies house.

I have lived here 16 years and of course over time the real estate market has taken a HUGE dive! The home is worth less then we owe..yeppers!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Barbara, I am being very " positive " about this whole ordeal. A year ago it would have crushed me! I have learned that their are reasons for everything and it will somehow work out! I am creative so I don't mind the challenge but just wish I was a bit healthier to endure the ride! Thanks barbara!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 jodie, sounds like we are working towards the same goal of being positive. thinking of sharing a house is a little daunting sometimes. i have had to consider how much i can give up, how little space can i make it in, who's dishes, etc. but as with you, i'm trying to see what the benefits will be. what others are having to do, change, survive with. sometimes it is hard, sometimes it is exciting for the new adventure. keeping our eyes on the positive is good.barbara Barbara, I am being very " positive " about this whole ordeal. A year ago it would have crushed me! I have learned that their are reasons for everything and it will somehow work out!
