spring fever.

i have a hankering for some redecorating.
i want to take everything out and start fresh.

i want to clean like a crazy woman and make everything smell lemony.
i want to bring spring and summer back into our home.

i want to sprinkle seashells everywhere and lean starfish on every shelf.
i want to organize and refresh.

i have spring fever.
and i have it pretty bad.

and it doesn't help that the latest pottery barn catalog just came in the mailbox.
that doesn't help me one bit.

I am a sick pup. Too tired to do anything.
I need your spring cleaning enthusiasm.

and the anthro catalogue is painful for me to look at.

Katie said...: I am half terrified, half jumping for joy at the thought of starting fresh -- we are simplifying and moving to a little cottage in the woods. Pinterest is giving me too many ideas to handle, but I am looking forward to a new beginning.; April 11, 2012 at 9:25 PM

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results."
Albert Einstein

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Melody Beattie

“…when some doctor tells you “Your child won’t…” or “Don’t get your hopes up,” don’t you dare sell your child out and buy into that… defeatist attitude. Sometimes all it takes is a belief that it can happen, the determination to create the possibilities —the right environment, the right people— and the ability to love your child more than you fear their labels and limitations.”

Being deeply loved by someone
gives you STRENGTH;
Loving someone deeply
gives you COURAGE.

"It was my child who taught me to understand so clearly that all people are equal in their humanity and that all have the same human rights. I might never have learned this in any other way. I may have gone on in the arrogance of my own intolerance for those less able than myself. My child taught me humanity."
Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author, Pearl S. Buck

“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”
Anna Quindlen, Author

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
Albert Einstein, Inventor
