"Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind" ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Fate and dumb luck have forced me to "sit in reverie", which more accurately could be described as .....sitting on the couch with my ankle elevated and on ice, daydreaming and watching Nate Berkus.
And while on many days I have wished for the opportunity to just sit and be still, it has been challenging for me to slow down and rely on my family to do all the things I typically handle here at our cottage.
I have found myself doing alot of daydreaming the last four days.....

I have found myself doing alot of daydreaming the last four days.....
Of how I can be a better "me" - and just where I want my creative goals to take me.....
Of how I am really craving color in my neutral house these days.....
I'm daydreaming of finally moving into our new cottage and all the projects I have planned! I'm also thinking of the day when my blog will go back to house projects rather than massive posts about my kiddos :) Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteI am daydreaming of a
ReplyDeletefun cooking class with
a wonderful new friend
whose posts make me smile
and whose comments make
me laugh!! EMBRACE this
time, as tough as it might
be to sit still!!!

about finishing my X-mas
shopping in the next
week or so....And having
December to work on
fun projects, write cards,
bake and ENJOY this special
time of year without the
pressure of shopping for
gifts.
I'll run for you.That is...if i put my shoes on.

I am daydreaming of a Thanksgiving filled with fun and whimsy and also the perfect credenza. Random I know.
ReplyDeleteI just want some peace in my life again . . too much crazy lately. Sandy:O)
ReplyDeletePoor you! I hope you are doing a rapid recovery. I am daydreaming about getting out of this rental and buying a house, about being surrounded with more color, about getting my sewing machine out and about opening an etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your spill and that ankle...ouch! If you ever need company I'd love some too.
ReplyDeleteYou have great daydreams. I haven't done enough of that lately. Maybe that's what I need. To dream a little more...ha! I have been thinking about spring break already;) Does that count:)??
Have a great weekend...even if it is on the couch.
I've been daydreaming about summer.....and winter hasn't even started yet....! lol! Hope you're feeling better each day, Jill!
