A lot of stuff has been going on, here at Casa de Stinky. What?!? You, too?!? DANG, when will it EVER end, right?!?
Aaaaanyway, in an effort to not think about stuff (stinky as it is) I tend to move things around.
Like, oh, I don't know, shifting chairs, hanging curtains, taking down and rehanging pictures, you know, the little things that require very little physical effort, almost no financial backing or filing of anymore loan applications (UGH!) simple little stuff that just sort of makes me want to, you know, smile.
Aaaaand, confuses the forces of evil into thinking: OUCH!…hey, when DID this bookcase get here…didn't we JUST trip over it, in the garage…and LOOK…in and out bins…really…SHE'S GOT BINS…heh, and a coat rack…good luck with that one, right?!?
[smiling]
Still, she IS smiling…so, I guess, we best be moving on then, eh…wanna go cause some havoc in the garage, then?!?
I know, I know, it goes against ALL things Fen Shui (DAGNABIT!) but, as of this week, every corner of my house is officially FULL of stuff and, yet, I somehow find myself gravitating to this one, throughout the day.
I like to think of it as a little nook of inspiration, decorated simply with my latest dollar store finds and flanked on the right by a picture of my grandmother, someone who my kids adored and miss, very, very much.
Me, too.
Also, see how the geraniums in the window are reflected in the photograph? They were my OTHER grandmother's favorite flower. So, yeah, weird, right?
Yes, my house is small. No, we still don't have any idea when we'll EVER get the stupid chimney fixed, or ceiling, for that matter, oh and the front door is STILL leaking, GAH!
This. THIS! It's what my kids and I will see, every morning. The first place we'll come to and drop our stuff (hopefully) at the end of each day.
"Oh no, I forgot my speech!"
My 10 year-old is running for student council president and, well, she also dreams of being an archaeologist, a scientist, or yoga instructor (???) whatever.
"It's in the dining room."
Well, at least she knew EXACTLY where it was, so there's that, right? RIGHT?!?
[sound of crickets]
Riiiiight.
"I read it to Mamama, last night."
[smiling]
Enough said.

I think your grandmother is probably up there somewhere, thrilled that she’s got such a special corner. 🙂
(I love the flower reflection, too: cool!)

Sounds like the perfect corner for inspiration, and reflection (see how I worked that in…?).

I think I need a corner of my own. I like yours. And you can come over anytimes and move things around . . . 🙂
