sometimes i forget about the positive things that are happening so in an effort to recognize the things that i like on a day-to-day basis (pema calls this cheerfulness practice), i want to share some of the things that i now love about casa de tres.
to fully be able to appreciate this shift, you would have to know how much i hated -- and i do mean hated -- this house, for so long. i missed my cute little forest hills house, with the charming crystal door knobs and tiny little black and white
bathroom floor tiles. then i came to this house - blah and more blah. and for some reason, for years and years, we just lived here. didn't paint a wall. didn't hang a picture. didn't plant a flower.
but at some point, the house won us over, we decided to stay,
and i got busy ignoring all the rules and making this house
a place that i love.
and this kitchen wall, though not yet complete, is one of my favorite things. the wall is truly the color of a tropical flower, and who wouldn't smile at that?
the board is everything i love - a little bit industrial,
a little bit fun and full of pictures that make me happy. and of course, the latest addition, our plastic gold pegasus,
acquired at the deep ellum arts festival this year.
