I am in love with this article in "This Old House."  I resignate with so much this homeowner feels and appreciates.  My favorite quote I take from this article is this:

"A house can be such a metaphor for a life," she notes. "It's interesting how the health of a house can telegraph your own health, physically and psychologically."

Simply Beautiful.
