This morning I wish us all a new heart for loving the exact life we are in.
The here and now is all we have. We can resolve to make things better. We can change the things we aren't happy with... maybe.
It's a big act of faith to be willing to put more energy into the here and now that we are living. Our reality.
Want to change the world?
Love your home. Keep your home.
Make a start. Clean your room. As you do, think about what it represents. If you are married, your room represents the "the unity of the two," as John Paul II called the couple. Love it. Refurbish it. Make it the best it can be right now, with what you have, with what you can make of it today.
Make it an act of love for your husband, that man who claims not to really care what his room looks like, who leaves it up to you, who, yes, throws his messy things in the corner (or, in the case of my man, overlooks my things piled on the chair).
If you are not married, respect yourself enough to put even your hidden place that hardly anyone else sees into order.
This is where you put your head at night, not knowing (as we all do not know) whether you will open your eyes in the morning. If nothing else, think of what you want them to see when they come to search for your body!!
On that note, I will encourage you to join us tomorrow for the Bedroom Edition of {pretty, happy, funny, real}.
If you work all week, you have until Sunday to upload your photo.
Doesn't have to be a before/after if you forgot to record things. Just give us one nice "after," even of one corner or horizontal surface that you conquered!
You don't even need a blog! Just link to the URL of your photo on Flickr, Picasa, or whatever service you use.
See you soon!
