SPRING Has Arrived

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY for being the first day of SPRING and in 3-D LIVING.  It's like SPRING should be.  Gorgeous powder blue sky, mild temperatures, little wind, birds chirping and I AM AT HOME.  

HOME LIFE is for me.  Yes, it is.  THANKING GOD and praising my Husband for allowing me to be a KEEPER of the HOME.

One can work at employment at home or at another location and still be a KEEPER.  This is the way of life for many.  Some remain in their HOMES and manage nicely.  I am best suited to be a homemaker and stay-at-home-keeper.  I LOVE this life.    

With the children grown and not baby sitting, the mornings are quiet.  So quiet at times you can hear a pin drop.  In my world it's more like hearing a pen drop. 

This year the main project will to get back on our feet and work on recovering from the HOME FIRE.  I'm not sure how long it will take to fully recover.  We continue to make plans on how to doll up the COTTAGE and fit into her.

Today, I am shuffling the Dining room to make room for boxes that will be arriving this week.  FIRE RECOVERY in action.

I'll be relieved when the boxes are here and I can see first hand what TEXTILE items were saved.  It may be somewhat overwhelming?  Shall see.  Take a deep breathe and be thankful some things were saved.  THANKFUL.

My dear, sweet Husband set up our grey painted table in the Kitchen.  We have two old wooden chairs with leather enforced seats that we are using in RETIREMENT COTTAGE.  Later the other dining table will be returned that I think we will use in the Dining room, but will need to get some upholstered chairs this SPRING/SUMMER.  Probably more like SUMMER.  Morphing along like a newly wed.

At times I feel like we are newly weds getting started.  Reminding myself that the Lord will do a new thing here in the COTTAGE as oldly-weds.  With SPRING ARRIVING, I feel brand new in some ways.  Refreshed that the season has changed.

IT CAN BE DEVASTATING to say I AM STARTING OVER...instead think of it as I am continuing on and/or I am advancing even if it doesn't look like it in the natural.

I AM ADVANCING.  It is fortunate that SPRING has arrived.  I am continuing to learn much about LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

I am advancing.

Advancing for the better.  I have to look at this time as an opportunity to do somethings differently.  As I surf the internet seeing other styles of decorating, I'm picking up on some ideas as how to continue on in our new HOME.  

Sweetly, I think this is a new day and a season to continue on in LIFE.  Laying down some bad habits and picking up some better ones.

SHALL SEE how the day goes.  HAPPY SPRING!
So glad you have stopped by for a visit.  
Blessings,
