Well after a lot of planning and hard work..I am happy to say that my Open House was a BIG success! I had so much fun and am thankful for everyone who came and helped make it special. It was great to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family. =)
My Mom and Sister came up early on Friday before and stayed the night so they could help me finish up cleaning, organizing and cooking. All I can say is, God Bless 'Em. Lol. Wouldn't have been able to do it without them and love them for it.
I am also excited because I recently have decided on a color to paint my extra bedroom. After much thought, I have decided to go with a light grey because I feel it will help make the room a relaxing retreat. I plan on eventually painting that and then moving my bed and my other white furniture into the bigger room. I think I would like to find a white comforter, or quilt that has just a little grey and yellow in it. I would eventually complete the bed by incorporating a lot of fun, white throw pillows. I would keep an eye out, and for either side of the bed add white antique looking end tables. The other day I went ahead and bought two simple yellow lamps to place on those future end tables. I plan on keeping things mostly a crisp white color and incorporating yellow in a few random items, such as the lamps. My Mom had mentioned the idea about down the road getting a couple wardrobes for my room (they are so nice and convenient) so in time I may get a couple modern, white ones. This is all just based on thoughts and a vision...so I will just have to wait and see how it all pans out. Wish me luck! =)
Lately I can't quite put my finger on it but I have been extra emotional. I feel okay to say this aloud because who knows, maybe that will help make me feel better? I know everyone has their highs and their lows, I just hate feeling this way. I know I push myself to the limit and have a lot of things on my plate to deal with, work on and sort out... so maybe I am just in need of some organization? or prioritizing? I'm not sure. I know the first step I am taking is to make myself relax this week. After work I am going to do something fun or simply relax my mind and body, because at times I let my mind (and body) start going 180 mph once I get home from work up until I turn off the lights and go to sleep. I've enjoyed doing it so far.Last night I went out to dinner with my sister and enjoyed good conversation, good food and good wine. It was awesome! In my opinion, I think it's too easy to let life pass you by, even when you don't mean for it to. There will always be things to do, but you can't feel guilty for relaxing or doing things that you enjoy and make you smile. My favorite moments are the simple moments I enjoy with my loved ones. I think it's important that I remember to make them a priority, because healthy, fulfilling relationships make your life worth while and bring you happiness. I guess there is never enough time to do all of the nothing that you may want (or to do things on your bucket list during a specific time frame), so just do what you can and be satisfied with it. Do whatever keeps your spirits lifted because it's fuel for the soul. Without it you slow down and become...blah.
Alright well I feel better already just writing down these thoughts. I know everyone experiences similar feelings, so to all of you just remember to take time to mix in the things that make you laugh and smile. =)
Love,
Sarah
