I realized that I have a Tree Collection.
There are two parts to that sentance that I'd like to address...
First, Pathetic Decorating
and
second, Tree Collection.
Today I'd like to address the FIRST part:
Pathetic Decorating
I realized that the decorating this year was lame
as I was doing it or not doing it as the case would be.
Just too little time spent
on getting all the boxes out and re-arranging furniture.
But what brought it home was sonny boy.
He brought his girlfriend and her daughter over for a couple of fun times,
and I then realized that I was lacking in the Decor Department.
Little kids have the excitement in them all of the time.
And I usually do.
Sometimes too much so.
That's how I got all of the collected stuff
that I normally decorate with.
So,
I will try
to put the little kid excitement
back into my everyday life...
I will put fresh fruit in my glass of ice water...
because I like it and it's fruity and fun.
I will laugh out loud every day, multiple times.
I will take the time to cut out paper snowflakes,
so I can have snow anytime I want it.
I will take a different path to work
or the library or the barn...
not just straight there and back.
I will take the fork in the road:
I will stitch a little every day -
hand or machine or just cutting something out to sew tomorrow.
A path we will skip down?
See you tomorrow!
Tomorrow I will address the second part of the equation: Tree Collection.
Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteLove your post! I did a simpler Christmas too. I had my husband set up the tree and lights. And I made the kids spend 10 minutes each and we just threw the ornaments on the tree....well we really didn't throw them...but you know what I mean. I set out about 6 sets of lights around the house and we were good to go. I don't think the kids minded...just as long as there is lots of food around!
I so want to do this too! I don't want to take the same path...I've seen how it turns out. I want to take a different path and see how I turn out! blessings, marlene
