Heard a comment on the radio that said, "Don't compare someone's highlight reel with your behind the scenes footage." I'm guilty of that and I do get wrapped up with wanting to change this and that in my home. Thanks for reminding us of what's really important and what really gives us happiness. God bless!

My house is full of sassy brassy and honey oak. There are times when I look at it and think that it looks awful. But there are other times I look around and see what a wonderful home I have and I think it's ridiculous to think that just because the woodworking isn't in style at the moment anything is wrong with it. Besides, you know the second I paint my cabinets then the next new rage will be light colored wood....Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094626877865766804.post-91510075493027088692014-01-16T22:44:52.142-07:002014-01-16T22:44:52.142-07:00Love this!

I like to have two lists going - what I WANT to accomplish, and what I HAVE accomplished. As the lists become more even or even remain uneven, it's nice to remind myself of what I've done.

She was only 49 and had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just two months ago. I know none of the home improvement stuff mattered to her, her husband or her four daughters in those precious two months.
