Let’s Do New!

Nothing seems to get me out of a rut quicker than to try something new!

The blah of  the same ole, same ole gets lifeless and boring, we tend to lose energy…(that will be an idea for another blog post)…and become even less motivated. It’s crazy how one area of life affects the other.

Without spending any money, pause to contemplate how to rearrange your living space or bedroom…probably will have to rehang some pictures, or maybe add some new ones. Move a plant from here to there or bring in a chair or desk from another room. Pull out Grandma’s dishes and use for everyday. Throw a colorful old table cloth over a chair for a temporary slipcover effect. Line your books up along the baseboard for instant library shelving.

Cut out fun patterned giftwrap into shapes and glue-stick it on your wall for backsplash beauty or run it along the top of the walls for color with out expense. It will draw the eye up and make the ceilings appear taller. (PS they will peel off easily leaving no residue)

These were a couple projects I did this week. Boy, does it feel better everytime I come home and enter my ‘new’ rooms!

All the time, my mind is thinking of new ideas to try, and so I do! One idea is a springboard to another, making life so much more fun.

What would you like to do to change up your habitation, your work space, garage, office, patio? You’ve already got everything you need.

Take your idea and move forward! Good bye to the doldrums!

We’re going to be happy in our lives 🙂

Beauty Makes You Feel Good!

Have you ever noticed when you look at something you really like it makes you feel good?

I think God made us that way because it infuses us with power and strength just by looking at something beautiful. It actually energizes you!

Have we shut ourselves down under a form of denial…self denial or stoicism where we prevent ourselves or will not allow ourselves to look at and enjoy what God has made for us, and placed around us?

I think it honors God when we notice and appreciate and are grateful for the beautiful things in life he has given to us and placed around us to enjoy.

It’s not a form of pride, but like we as parents are happy when our children enjoy what we’ve given and have picked out for them, that’s the same way God is with us.

Don’t be afraid to notice and enjoy the beauty around you. Because really you are noticing and enjoying God, and that makes him happy!

Sunday!

So many good thoughts associated with this word…Sunday!

The first day of a brand new week.

A full day off work (used to be anyway).

Time to plan a better week than last week.

Sunday begins with the word sun, so automatically we think brightly.

A day for family gatherings.

A day for some home cooking.

A day to begin or finish a project we’ve been thinking about.

A day to thank God and remember all the good things he has done for us.

A day to talk to distant relatives and friends.

A day to be refreshed.

Happy Sunday to you!
