Did Henry David Thoreau Begin the Tiny House Movement?


I have been ill this past week. I actually spent two days in the hospital and, as a result, have been off work as well. I go stir crazy when I am unable to do anything productive. Sitting in bed trapped in a fog of medication, I started letting my mind get the better of me and my anxiety started to rise. I began looking for diversion pretty quickly. First I took a nap. Then I watched something on my laptop on Netflix. Finally, I reached for my Kindle and tried to disappear into a good book. This week I chose to dive into Walden by Henry David Thoreau. I have read this book before and enjoyed it, but it has been at least 10 years since the last time I read it. I am reading it now through a different set of eyes.
