Well, can I just say that getting a house ready to sell in a week has been crazy! Cody and I have worked really hard and now we're exhausted! The realtor came last night and stayed until 10:15 pm and then we crashed in our bed. Cody went right to sleep (because he still had work and school today) and I lay awake for a hour or so contemplating, stressing, and praying that everything will go well and that it will sell in the time frame that we need and for the $ we need. But when I woke up, feeling strangely refreshed, my whole house was clean and organized and I felt peaceful. Three items caught my eye and put a smile on my face so I thought I'd take a picture to savor the moment. First were the small white frames I put up a few days ago. ( I wish I'd had a friend here to help me choose the paper--I am too indecisive!) I have had these frames for three years and the shells for just as long but never finished the project. Now that they are up, and even in all their simplicity, they bring me joy. Next was a bowl of fruit on the table. Thank you to Cassy who gave me the bowl. I love yellow and green in the kitchen; so bright, so friendly. They instantly lift my mood. Finally I had placed a green pot with delicate purple flowers by my back door. Now even taking the garbage out is a positive experience. And while I know that I usually kill plants and so I can't expect to enjoy these for long, somehow that's okay. They are pretty and I love them.
