For me, something as "small" as doing laundry -- you know, the methodical method of sorting, washing, drying, folding, putting away -- it may sound crazy, but that task is something that makes me feel balanced. Thanking God for the things (clothes) we have, and grateful that, even by this small act, I can show my husband I love him =)Rebekahhttp://thevanillavilla.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-84099661642580604972011-04-27T13:13:10.171-04:002011-04-27T13:13:10.171-04:00Richella...During life and death situations in my ...Richella...During life and death situations in my life I found it helped me to clean house and change things around.

I never get tired of the thrill of planting a seed and witnessing it come up and mature into a healthy plant.<br /><br />I've always wanted to grow grass to use for Easter decorations but I always think of it too late. I love how you used it with your mom's eggs and also in the other container.<br /><br /><br />I hope things will be "normal" in your house soon.Paula@SweetPeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159609759110718249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-91786818156725230492011-04-26T23:07:54.335-04:002011-04-26T23:07:54.335-04:00You know, I don't think it's very insignif...You know, I don't think it's very insignificant. It reminds me of this book by Sarah Dessen that I read in high school. Gah, she's had so many books published now, I can't remember which one it was. <br /><br />Basically, though, the main character Annabel's (a high school girl) older sister (I think her name was Whitney) had gone to New York City (I think) to model, but she started having issues with eating disorders, so she came back home. One of her therapist's assignments for her was to grow a flower and keep it alive. It was a way for her to concentrate on something other than her illness.<br /><br />Your grass reminds me a lot of that part of Sarah Dessen's story. It may seem trivial, but it holds a lot of symbolism. Maybe that's just me being an English major. I could just be looking into it more than I should. But it just reminded me of that scene from the book. It's a really good book, by the way. You should totally read it. :) Especially if you read and liked Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-39285579436981971842011-04-26T23:02:12.210-04:002011-04-26T23:02:12.210-04:00Richella~I can't believe you took the time to ...Richella~I can't believe you took the time to plant this with all you have going on!

Going to the gym has been my getaway, the place where I go to work it all out of my system. Mundane chores have been a lifesaver too. <br /><br />But I really like your idea of growing grass, something that is natural and green and shows progress day by day when you feel like you're progressing at a snail's pace in everything else.Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945043297139219733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-65483127457099542692011-04-26T16:00:32.841-04:002011-04-26T16:00:32.841-04:00When our (then) 3 year old daughter was going thru...When our (then) 3 year old daughter was going thru cancer treatments and we had many MANY extended stays in the hospital, I began to really miss cooking.<br /><br />Keeping routine helped. <br /><br />Glad things are calming down. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17326341620240628573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-39838680769331277472011-04-26T15:58:18.398-04:002011-04-26T15:58:18.398-04:00sometimes we just need the simple things to make u...sometimes we just need the simple things to make us smile!!!stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525799761814106775noreply@blogger.com
