Focus on Life Week 9 - Knock Knock

This week's Focus on Life photo is a door.  This is what Sally had to say:
  Let's open some doors to see what awaits us on the other side.
Is it a door that holds opportunity?
A door that holds a story?
Is it a door you have been hesitating to open?
Is a gate to a new life?
A door to a new adventure?
Is it a door that holds a memory?
Is it the perfect door for a simple picture?
You have arrived at the door for a reason, open it up and step in!

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” – Walt Disney

“The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort – the opening, terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing – the opening a wonderfully joyous moment.” – Andy Rooney


This is an image of my front door.  The sign on the front door says "God Bless the Freaks" and that about sums me up.  The reason I picked this picture is because I am hoping in the next few months to be out of this home and front door and back in mom's house and her front door.  In Focus on Life Week 2 we talked about having an extension built on the back of mom's house and it looks like it will happen. 



This is an updated blue print of my new living area and I SOOOOOO can't wait to move back home with mom and have a new front door :)  There will be photos of the progress.

I know this post is short on pictures this week - just so you all know I do love doors and you can find my love of doors on my Pinterest board "Doors to Somewhere".

 Head on over to The Studio Sublime to see what door's everyone else took pictures of this week.
