back in the swing

When you've been a bit off kilter for a while you are much more appreciative of life's ordinary moments.  This week was the first time in a while that I felt myself comfortable in my normal routine and it felt good.  Mixed in with cooking, cleaning and laundry I was able to...

Clean out the fireplace and get it ready for summer. I even fixed the vent closure thingy which we lived with open all winter long. It turns out it had only fallen off its hinge...why didn't I take a peek up there earlier?

I painted the frames above the fireplace and even finished the shelf above the sofa, which by the way, I am not sure I like up there...figures right?

I drilled holes in my radio flyer wagon and put in potting soil so now it's ready for flowers this weekend.

I finished a sewing project for my local quilt store that I've had partially done for three months now.

I spent some time playing with paper in my craft studio.

I went to the library and picked up a couple of  books that I can't wait to share with you soon.

I spent some time with my husband just talking about us.

I took a walk in the village downtown and reminded myself that life is good right were I am.

I sat in my favorite leather recliner and looked through old magazines for inspiration.

Pretty boring stuff I know, but isn't that wonderful?

I am back in the swing...and it feels good.

Happy Friday, all.
