We have a lovely little porch on the back of our townhouse, just enough room for a couple of tables. In 2022, we added chairs, lights, and footstools and had the perfect setup to sit and relax. We loved coming out in the early morning to listen to the birds.
2023 brought the cancer diagnosis, surgeries, and chemo, and the back porch became just a place where we didn’t spend much time.
Now it is 2024, and we replaced the old chairs with new ones, with a chaise lounge for me to stretch out on. I’m sitting out here tonight watching the thunderstorm roll in, listening to Taylor Swift and remembering that this is what you live for. We’ll be hanging the wind chimes tomorrow. They make a deep tone that connects directly to your soul.
