Luxuries. Food. Portland and Home

Getting closer to what I want Ah the luxuries of life. We're in an Airbnb in Portland at the moment and I am completely soaking up the little things. - Access to a clean, private shower whenever I'd like. I can shower once a day even! - A never ending supply of water flowing out of the faucet. - Sewage that is taken care of - no dumping required. - Fast wifi access so I can upload and download without any restrictions. - A massive oven I can actually cook two pizzas in at the one time. - Lying on a comfy couch watching Madam Secretary on Netflix. - Space. Loads of space. - And a big comfy bed. It's amazing how much we take for granted. I'm grateful to see how much the little things matter. Portland is more of a local destination.  There are no big draw tourist attractions. It's wow moments come from wandering its many small and vibrant neighborhoods and enjoying good food, coffee and brews. Checking out the murals and browsing its unique stores and boutique shops that are wonderfully absent of big name brands. I've never seen so many options before for gluten free food AND combined with vegan. I am in heaven and could eat all day long here. Portland is a cool place. It's liveability and tree lined streets remind me so much of Raleigh and I miss it. It's almost time to return and get settled into a community with my own home to return to every night with its little luxuries I am so happy to have. Caroline Be Sure to Do This!
