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.
how can you not love a wall like that???:)
