But the thought comes back to me every time - Live for today, for tomorrow is not promised. This means a lot to me. It means that I can't keep trying to gaze ahead. I can make plans in pencil, but I need to be open. I can save up for the future, but be ready to adjust course.
Turning this place into my dream home.
Temporarily speaking, this place is my dream. I have the most important people in my life living within the same walls. Little by little, I'm making this place into what I imagine my future home will be like.
Star Wars posters covering a wall.
Minecraft figures will one day be lining a custom-made shelf.
Star Wars figures will be on one shelf, and Wonder Woman on another.
My husband will have a decent amount of shelves occupied by Star Trek, NASA, Alien, and other game themed memorabilia.
You get the idea. My husband bought bookshelves that we lined with books for each person in our family. I treasure the ability to read. It is something I am teaching my own kids to enjoy as well. This was the start of bringing about that vision I've had for my dream home. On my Bucket List, I included wall-to-wall shelving as a library feature.
We are Nerds. And our home greatly reflects that. I've decided to put a little more pride into that. I pulled things from bins, found places for them and started showing them off. This place is home. Time to truly embrace that feeling, no matter how little time we have left in it.
What kind of a setup do you enjoy in your home? What theme do you find trickling into every room?
