Silence. Not even the wind fills my ears. I float weightless and close my eyes blocking out as much light as possible. I feel waves wash over my body and a breeze cools my chest and face as it passes over the water. I'm startled as a noise breaks into the void I've created. Ripping me back to reality i lift my head from the water and smile at friends who laugh and talk by the side of the pool.
I'm finally in. After years of planning and savings I've finally managed to move into my own place. These last years have been some of the most stressful I've faced in a long time. Owning your own place changes you completely. Whereas once you looked at a seat as a place to rest now you look at it as a decorate. Everything seems to have new meanings.
I did a walk through of the local hardware store and nearly cried with the thoughts of everything that is to come before i can be happy in this new place. So much work done so much more to come.
Vacation. It's what i need. The offer to spend the weekend on a houseboat although with strangers is too appealing to pass up. It seems strange that when I finally have my own place all I want is to take some time away from it.
