I've hung up the APRONS. . .everyday ragged ones and SUNDAY BEST. . .
There won't be much work going on around here. . .
at least not for today. . .
My INSPIRATION came from a moment of SUN. . .
shining through the window. . . highlighting the BEAUTY of those VINTAGE APRONS. . .
as if they were saying, 'We'll just hang around here for the day.'
I didn't argue. . .I've hardly had time to breathe during and after the holidays. . .
realizing I need a little 'ME' TIME. . .
and immediately thinking about a card I received yesterday. . .
sent by a DEAR FRIEND:
'You are the only one of YOU that you'll ever get.
Be GOOD to you. . .Be MERCIFUL. . .
Be KIND. . .and Be GRATEFUL'
Thus resolving my dilemma of what to do.
TODAY I WILL PERFECT THE ART OF DOING NOTHING. . .
IT TAKES PRACTICE. . .
and practice I will. . .(smile)
. . .from my farmhouse to yours. . .
Good for you! I finally did that Monday (my birthday) but I still made a dinner and dessert. But I find that I enjoy so many tasks now that I am retired and don't have to rush. Just being able to enjoy each task and not have to push myself like I used to plus I no longer have to set an alarm, I just sleep until I am rested. I must admit though I'm not keeping up with housework like I used to! LOL! Enjoy your day whatever you do or don't do and the best of 2016 to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I should learn to do that more too. Your vintage aprons are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOf course love the aprons! Everyone needs a break. While I visited my sister last week, I got to "perfect the art of doing nothing"! Savor every moment!
ReplyDeleteSometimes doing nothing is the most productive way to spend your day. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI love vintage aprons and even new ones--
ReplyDeleteI had to part with most of my old ones when moving from NY to Florida in Sept--so now will have to watch for some new ones in the thrift stores to replace them or make me some new/old ones!!
love, di
Oh those beautiful aprons are just making my little heart go pitter patter! I think doing nothing is great idea sometimes...go for it!
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful!

Beautiful aprons!! We all need to just do nothing every now and then. It has been awhile since I visited you here at your blog. We had 2 aunts pass away and also my best friend last year...and I just needed some time to heal my broken heart. Hope to be blogging more this year.

A day without work is what the Lord intended! It's hard to keep that practice sometimes! Love the photos and wish I had those gorgeous aprons! :)
