I was just reading a few posts at Domestic Felicity and it made me really want to write on this blog again. I love her style, so relaxed and feminine and homey. But what I was admiring this time was the fact that she is so consistent, posting at least once every week, and more sometimes. I want to be more consistent, even if I talk about ordinary little things that I do everyday. (Which somehow, people like Mrs. Anna T from said blog, they make everyday things sound quite enjoyable and peaceful and good.)
So here I go, talking about normal everyday things. :)
One of the reasons that I didn’t blog for a little while was because I was taking a fast for Lent from some of the activities on my computer. I actually really enjoyed it, and I got a few more things done at that time then I usually do, although through a good portion of it, I had three colds, therefore hampering much of my activities. But once Lent was over, I really wanted to get back to blogging again.
But one thing that is uppermost in my mind right now is the soon arrival of my grandparents, who are coming in May to stay for a week. The whole event has been planned for for some time, and has been the cause of some frustration, since my dad (they’re his parents) can’t get the time off for that week. But I look forward to having them come, since I haven’t seen them for some years. But the preparation for it is going to be very interesting: our house it not one of the cleanest houses in the world. There’s a quote from a TV series, when one of the characters refers to his mess of a house as “creative disarray”. I love that description, since I myself am a creative sort of person, and am never very organized.
But in a way, I looking forward to clearing out the house of extra things, since I’m feeling the desire to be free of thing that weigh me down and bring me closer to the things of this earth. That sounds a little self-righteous, but I really am wanting to let go of things that I don’t ordinarily need, or don’t ordinarily help me or others. It’s been brought to my notice quite often recently that I may have things in my possession that I no longer use, but of which could be of great service to someone else who have not been as blessed as I.
So for some time to come now, my family and I will be doing a grand spring cleaning, which I pray will be a peaceful and joyful time. And I hope that this will give and opening for more people to come over to my house, since I have been feeling a great calling for something that God calls us to, hospitality.
But I’ll have to write on that in a later post. Right now, I’m going to go out for a little walk with my sister. I hope all of my readers had a lovely and joy filled Resurrection Sunday.
Shalom
