Its always possible to start over.

If you conclude that you've been heading down the wrong path in your journey through life,and despair because you've waited so long to change direction,consider this.

A different path means a fresh start,with no baggage,and with the potential of something magical waiting for you ....somewhere just around the next corner.

Magical things dont just happen though,nor is it handed to you on a plate,it takes hard work and dedication to achieve and find your magic.

I have a friend in Sussex who has been languishing at home the last 20 years waiting,just waiting for magic to happen,but it never will,and i have told her she must get out there and seek it,but she wont,and sure as hell it wont find her,its very sad and a wasted life.

Yes! Thank You For This Post! After Moving Around, Marrying And Divorcing, And Raising Kids, I Had Set Roots Down In My Old Home Town And Built A House Pretty Much Alone. I Really Tried To Become A Contributing Part Of The Community, And Poured My Everything Into This House And Acre. After About 12 Years, I Had A Breakdown And Was Forced To Walk Away From It All. I Have Been 600 Miles Away Now For Going On 5 Years, And With The Help Of My Son, I'm Turning A Shed, Yes A Shed!, Into A Micro House. I Have A Small Fron Yard That's As Big As My Old Kitchen, But We've Cemented, Fenced In And Put Up Overhead Lattice For Partial Shade On It. I Have A Hammock And Solar Lights Up Here. I Was Realizing How Much I Enjoy This Tiny Place And Can't Remember Enjoying My Other Larger House On It's Full Acre.... Yes, There Is Magic In Change.

That is so awesome! I want to live in a tiny house but my husband can’t see working all his life only to live in a tiny house. I think it would be great.

It Can Be! I Think The Trick Is To First Design It So It's Cosy And Has Lots Of Tuck Away Compartments For Belongings, And Then To Design A Really Cozy Front Or Back Yard, So You Can Comfortably Dine, Entertain And Lounge Out There. Next, I'm Planning To Place A Hedge Of Rose Bushes With Casablanca Lilies In-between Along One Side And Climbing Honeysuckle Along The Other Side For Privacy As Well As A Fragrant "Garden" . I Love Hanging Scrolled Candle Wall Sconces To Burn Citronella Candles In At Night To Keep The Bugs At Bay Too.
