I've learned to look at a room in a timeless way - what is my vision for this room always, not just what I can put up with today. Because "today" turns into a few days and then a week, etc.
I LOVE this gem from our Dear Harriet (in the decluttering thread from Yesterday). I think it's perfect.
What is your vision for today and this week? this wisdom from d harriet also made me think of what I put up with (not in a negative way) - more of accept in my general day thinking that "I will get to" what I really want to do. For myself, I love the outdoors and rarely make a daily effort to get to the woods etc. because I am so busy with this, this and that. Her quote was profound for me in the thoughts of my home and my day to day adventures. really interesting!
I hope today is a day that really is special for you and your dear family.
Its another cold day here, frost everywhere, but I am imagining having a table cloth on my kitchen table, the windows open with warm gentle breezes and joyous sunshine coming in while I have my coffee and breakfast. Robins and other birds singing. I am sending you that beautiful morning with your choice of tea, coffee, water with lemon, and a beautiful breakfast for you to start your day with joy.
HAVE A LOVELY DAY.
