There are moments when my house is clean and serene.
But then there are other times…
And sometimes during those “other times” I feel down on myself–for not being more talented, or more on top of things, or better at this or that–{like creating a home that is a candidate for the cover of Country Living Magazine}. Do you ever feel that way?
But when I look a bit deeper and let myself “feel” what my home is like instead of viewing it through the eyes of critique, I realize that my although my house may not be perfect, my home is pretty close.
My home is lived in and loved. It is cozy and colorful and loving.
It is messy and glorious all at the same time.
Do I dream of someday living in and decorating a Country Living cover farmhouse? Yes. Because dreaming gives me a bright glow of hope. And because a good dream is like chocolate to the soul.
But this? Here? Right now? This is where my heart is. And when I wake up each morning, I make the choice to embrace this crazy beautiful life.
Because right here, right now, this is exactly where I’m supposed to be.
