During this time between surgery and radiation I am busy getting my house in order. Lately it has rained here, so I haven't had the opportunity to finish mulching my flower beds. I'm working inside the house on rainy days!
Two days ago I hung a painting and a framed note in my bathroom.
I would like to frame the painting someday, but for now it will hang unframed. It's a beautiful original oil painting that I found in a local thrift shop a couple of years ago. I think I paid $3 for it.
This little handwritten paper is something I found in my grandmother's piano bench when we inherited her piano last year. I love it! I think it must have been a prayer that she read aloud in a gathering or meeting sometime; I particularly love her note to self at the top to "relax and smile" (because isn't that an important thing to remember in motherhood?). I set it aside after I found it and knew I'd frame it one day, and that day came this week.
I like to read it while I brush my teeth--a little twice-a-day inspiration!
