Inside the House

Billie May 28, 2010

It is so good to be home!  Back to my normal routine of cooking, cleaning and doing chores!  Being back home is important to me.  Oh, I enjoyed  being with my family in Florida and I love spending the weekends at my daughters houses, but being back home is a joy!

When you've been homeless, it's a big deal to be able to put your feet under your own table.  Sleep in your own bed and eat your own food.  I take great pride and joy in cleaning my own bathroom, making my bed, doing chores, and all the little things that make my living environment a real home.

I've been thinking this week about how I lived before I came to WHC.  Living with friends and family.  Sleeping in chairs and in my car.  Living in an apartment that had no heat, water or toilet.  What a nightmare!  I can't imagine going back to that.
