In the Patch in Black and White

Proudly, I put away the remains of the kitchen remodel... the table in the living room is gone! Of course, that means it's time to do a little redecorating. I committed to myself, from our Living Simply book group this week, that the living room would transform to my quiet space. My space for reading, studying, being. The space is beautiful and, sadly, never used.

I am a visual person and have learned that I am a very kinesthetic learner, therefore, I need a visual... something to inspire me.

Aagh, beauty. Three things that make me happy; a picture of the boys very little in the Tulip Garden, the pitcher purchased on vacation in WI and carried home on the airplane and my inspirational pumpkin. It looks wonderful... I took this picture for my month of Black and White photos... as I look at it I see all of the little details... but something is missing...

... warmth. I need warmth and color in my life. My kids, my busy, my commitments... my walks with my son, a snuggle and a movie with baby girl, a basketball game with the other son, the hustle and bustle. I need the warmth of my life.

What warms you? What inspires you. This will serve as my inspiration during this season of my life.
