New Beginnings

Just do the Damn Thing

2024 feels like the year of new beginnings for me! 

I had hoped to be moved into the new house before the year started, but that didn’t work in my favor.  That’s ok, I’m learning a lot in the building process and one of the things that God is trying to teach me is patience.  It’s never really been my thing 😊

We gave old windows with a painting of the original house to all the family for Christmas.

Remember the Days You Prayed...

However, I will be moving into my new house in 2024, even though I am not sure exactly when.

As moving day approaches, I have this overwhelming sense of starting fresh, new beginnings, finally realizing that my dreams have come true.  I know that all sounds cliché, but it’s true. The phrase, “Remember the days you prayed for the things you have now,” could not be more relevant to my life.

Facebook Marketplace find that I intend to clean up, replace the glass (possibly) and use upstairs in the loft. This white chippy vintage store cabinet fits my style perfectly!

Just Do the Damn Thing...

This is the year that I have decided to “just do the damn thing.” All the things I have wanted to start wanted to try, projects I have been saving for someday, this is the time in my life that I quit putting them in the corner for someday. Quit writing them on the to-do list, or in the spiral notebook, stop saving the pictures in a folder on my computer, and just do the damn thing!

Old headboard that will be turned into a vanity mirror for the upstairs bathroom.

Let's Go...

I feel like I have always been waiting for the right time, or the right place, or the right house, or the right amount of money.  All the excuses stop now.  Find a way to make it happen.  The only thing I have against me at the moment is where in the world am I going to get all the time I need to finish all the things I have wanted to start for the last 45 years.  The answer is, I don’t know, but I can’t finish until I start, so here I go!

Another Facebook Marketplace find that we will use as an island bar in our outdoor kitchen area.

Bye friend, have a safe trip and come back to see us.
