Today's word inspiration is Xanadu.
"Xanadu, Xanadu, Now we are here, In Xanadu." Singing to herself as she cleaned Natalie danced around her new home.
A home! Finally she had a home of her own. Oh she new it wasn't much, just a 2 bedroom apartment, but it was hers. For the first time in a long time things were starting to go her way.
And it was about time! Her parents had died when she was young and she had ended up in foster care, which had been a nightmare. She considered herself lucky though, her mother had always told her she could achieve anything. That had been her motivation.
At times it had been hard. She had had to juggle jobs with going to TAFE and then she had gone on to university. So many of the people that she knew growing up, had turned to drugs and become lost. But she had persevered.
And finally she was achieving her goals. She had a good job, a home. She had achieved her Xanadu.
