A New Year, New Perspective

January 4, 2021January 4, 2021 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

Welcome to 2021. It has been a long time since I last posted because I got tired of the politics, pandemic, and power grabs. I didn’t think I could coherently write anything that didn’t involve screaming and cursing - neither of which I do in my day to day life. Life in 2020 brought out … Continue reading A New Year, New Perspective

Textiles Make A Home

November 9, 2020November 9, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

There is one singular item that transforms a hard square house into a soft, safe, and cozy home. No matter your decorating style, there are textiles to compliment and enhance that style. Color, texture and ambience, textiles are your home’s best friend. Choosing Home Textiles We have all wandered the isles of home decor and … Continue reading Textiles Make A Home

A Very Good Week

October 2, 2020October 2, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

I came outside later than usual today. It seems that every day of the week, or at least Monday through Friday, a different neighbor is having their yard mowed first thing in the morning. I am sure it has always been this way, but now that it is disturbing my peaceful backyard time. I am … Continue reading A Very Good Week

The Fragility of Routine

September 29, 2020September 29, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

I have a new routine. I don’t generally “do” routines as I rarely do the same thing the same way two days in a row. At least that is always what I thought. Then my brother said, “I bet you do and just don’t realize it.” Yeah, I think he is right. I do wake … Continue reading The Fragility of Routine

Suburban Sunrise

September 25, 2020September 25, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

There was a faint orange glow in the eastern sky when I rolled out of bed this morning. The dogs were awake and persistent. Grudgingly I let them have their way. As I stumbled to the bathroom thoughts of dread for another day rolled around in my sleepy brain. Lately I wake, not so much … Continue reading Suburban Sunrise

K.I.S.S. Day 5

September 18, 2020September 18, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

Modern life is complicated. We have too many options, too much information and still only twenty four hours in a day. Choices must be made; priorities set. In my effort to simplify my life I have removed the extraneous, evaluated the remainder, and still find room for further paring down of clutter—physical and mental. I … Continue reading K.I.S.S. Day 5

K.I.S.S. Day Four

September 17, 2020September 17, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

I woke up this morning to just over one hundred emails in my inboxes. This is only half the number I had been receiving. Unsubscribing from all those distribution lists is working. And it is freeing. I tend to avoid that which overwhelms me. Ironic since ignoring only escalates the problem leading to a greater … Continue reading K.I.S.S. Day Four

K.I.S.S. – Day One

September 14, 2020September 16, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

I love reading about the latest lifestyle trends, taking the quizzes, looking at pictures, imagining living in any one of a number of homes found as I scroll Pinterest. I don’t necessarily put in the work to implement the changes necessary to have the life, but I sure do love reading how other people do … Continue reading K.I.S.S. – Day One

Life Got In The Way

September 9, 2020September 9, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

For the first time since I started this blog I have gone seven days without writing. It wasn’t intentional neglect. I had good intentions and we all know what road is paved with good intentions. I allowed myself to get busy doing the work of organizing that which I have determined cannot be organized. And … Continue reading Life Got In The Way

Dream Life

September 2, 2020September 2, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

My New Normal? As I think about making a life, this is not what I have in mind. Yet, where I live this is becoming the norm. Open land and grazing cattle are pushed aside for more freeway over passes. Once lovely neighborhoods are now tear down zones because the land is more valuable than … Continue reading Dream Life
