“Well, at least you feel like you’re always on vacation. Who gets to live beside such a pretty garden with two ponds? Your place is so pretty, it looks like I step into a magazine each time I come visit,” my sister laughed at me the other day, when I complained about being holed up for weeks inside the bedroom.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Living here doesn’t feel like being on one of those Disney vacations at all! It’s way too quiet, way too lonely, and way too far from everything and everyone else. The only saving grace is the space–there’s lots of space here for play.

Then again, space is both boon and bane. With this much space around, it’s easy to lose yourself and forget that somewhere in all of it, there’s you.
