CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT AND MY WAY OF THINKING

Change your environment...change your life. There is also a book I've noticed, but don't own yet, called something like Move your Stuff Change Your Life. I keep thinking about the quote I posted below about changing the outside of yourself. It reminds me of a Steve Martin movie with Rick Moranis where Martin tells Moranis that sometimes you have to change from the outside in. And they go off to buy this guy a new wardrobe. I have been thinking of decorating my bathroom all summer. There would be this here and that there and it will be FABULOUS. I even sent away to Paris to get an old print from hprints to frame and hang in there. Darned if I just haven't found time to get it done yet. Don't know just what I'm waiting for... someone to help me, I think. Or give me permission. Or tell me that's a good idea. Maybe I just wonder if Papabear will like it. You see? Here we are talking about all my inside reasons for not getting it done. Now if I change my environment by finishing the bathroom decor...that could change me. And it would change me for the better at that!! [I must look really stupid to you right now. But it's me and how I function.] When I really get in and clean, I start by redecorating. Yes, I have my problems with efficiency and being organized. But change the environment, I say!! And see what happens. It's a start.

That's my opinion....and IT'S TRUE. (^.^)

You have my permission and encouragement Rosalie. It will be wonderful when you get it done. The first step is always the hardest, then you just want to get it finished to see how wonderful it's going to look. Diane
