My clutter is amazing and that’s, mainly, because I choose life over clutter. All “those” women that say clutter is evil -smile- just haven’t made peace yet.
I’ve given away hundreds of books, yet the towers of books left, threaten to topple at any moment. The quilting frame has not one, but two, quilts ready to be hand quilted. The spinning wheel has a bobbin waiting to be filled. I still need to send the last OWOH 2010 gift.
For some reason, I’m locked out of my blog and that’s worrisome but life is still good. We ate home made apple muffins for breakfast, I made a killer pot roast this week and have a bottle of green wine chilling in the fridge.
I’m not Pollyanna but when I’m feeling blue, I start counting my blessings and that helps…sometimes just a bit but, mostly, enough to jump start me. And that’s a great thing.
As to my heart…it’s at peace but only because of Christ. It’s not about religion, it’s about relationship and always I “cast my cares upon Him because He cares for me”.
Most of us are doing the best we can and it always pays to be gentle one with one another. We never know what hell someone is going through. It sounds like you need to lavish some of that TLC, you spend on other people, on yourself. Women always seem to forget to treat themselves tenderly; then, when they start thrashing, crashing and burning, we wonder “why?”
As much as you’re able, treat yourself like an honored guest today. Pamper, adore and love yourself and that will put you in a place to “do unto others as you’d have them do unto you”.
Pax.

Well my house is pretty much ok. i find it some kind of necessity (having a clean house) to be able to look at things on the bright side. And this is what I tell my 2 kids, please help me keep this place safe !
Allthough my heart is pretty messy and has been for a little while, I try to keep my home ok and then i feel ok when I get back home at night and this way I feel safe.
I know i do need to feel safe and comfortable there at least ! And I don’t look at other peolple’s house, I don’t care, THEY leave there ! As long as their own heart is welcoming !
love to all of you from sunny (and snowy right now !)south of France

I stumbled onto your blog the day you posted this and it really made me think, particularly since I’d just started a new blog of my own. Since reading it I’d been meaning to post something on the same topic and just finally got around to it today. I hope you don’t mind that I’ve linked to this post. I’ve also put a link to your blog in my side bar. Thanks for all the inspiration. I’m looking forward to spending lots of time reading here!!!

Haha! Bless your heart for wondering that. I sometimes feel bad blogging things/feeling that are not “good” or “nice”…But I can’t put out the sunshine very well, if that is not what is going on with me. So I don’t post anything, in order not offend or put my more less-than-perfect side out there. Then, I feel I have to write what I really feel, or I will BURST. So I do, then I feel bad…and then I get emails from readers saying, “Oh thank you! I feel that way, too!”

Real is better. I would rather see your dishes, than a pretty picture that isn’t true.

I’m baching it tonight so the take-out food is congealing on the counter, dirty plates are still on the coffee table, my wine glass desperately needing to be refilled as I sit here in my jammies with my cat and laptop on my lap, surfing. It ain’t pretty, but it’s me.

My house isn’t too bad, considering.

My heart is over at my art table, being neglected because I’ve been working on algebraic equations all night. I’ve got plans for it this weekend though.

i’ve been hiding under a rock, in a cave, under the sea. so i have no idea what my house looks like.

and so it goes, right? there is always the antithesis to the desired, to the light, to the bursts of energy and connectedness.

i, too, believe in YOU. and am so grateful to have found one another. i’m on your team, and wish i could come over and wash those dishes for you (always more fun to do someone else’s dishes).

LOVE.
