It's amazing what the simple flip of the calendar can do for us, isn't it? Motivation for a fresh start, a reminder to refresh, incentive to set new goals. I've been riding that wonderful wave of new year energy this past week, as I tidy up not only the little bits of lingering holiday decor, but the bits and pieces I uncover along the way that no longer fit, work, or suit us. It isn't about buying new furniture or even throwing things away, it's simply rearranging, straightening, and seeing our world in a new light. Clearing the cobwebs in the corners - both figurative and sometimes, well, literal. It feels so good. Snapping photographs along the way as I do, a few little corners of ours that have caught my eye in recent days...
Cheers to a new year and new year energy....and the homes we love and live in!
