The power of words

I have been busy the last month trying to put my life into perspective. I have found just how powerful words are. I changed all my computer passwords to a word of encouragement. Every time I log in, I type in my password and I feel uplifted. I think everyone should have an encouraging password like- beautiful, strong, determined, special, or queen. I didn't list my here, but you get the idea. Don't forget to add #s and capitals in there to make them truly powerful passwords.

Don mentioned we needed carpet in the living room. If you remember, I tore it out in a frenzy a couple of months back. See details here



So our living room has been half hard wood and half particle board. It looked crummy and made everything echo. Don felt like we were going to loose our hearing because of the volume level in our house and said it was time to carpet the living room.

I wasn't opposed to the idea. I needed a project to focus my thoughts and I was ready for carpet as well. But how could I carpet without painting walls? I decided to take on the living room project.







I loved how it turned out. In fact, it finally feels like a home. I like sitting in it. The kids can wrestle. Guests can visit. It makes a difference to have at least one nice room in the house.
