No, we haven't left town, decided to no longer post, or gotten lost on the way to spring! We are in the midst of a little remodeling - and all the rest of life have been pushed to the edges. In the meantime, we are down to a microwave and washing dishes in the laundry room. A bit like camping out!
After living with a narrow corridor kitchen for almost 14 years, we decided it was time to make some changes. By pushing part of the kitchen wall that separates the kitchen from the living room back just 10 inches and the other half of the wall 14 inches, we will have a far more usable kitchen.
A mere matter of inches. After beginning the project, both of us wondered in our innermost heart if we were being foolish. But when the project was far enough along to actually envision the endproduct, The change was even greater than we had hoped. A mere matter of inches.
A bit like the rest of life (which is pushed to the edges). How many times have any of us hesitated to make some small change in our lives -because we thought such a little change would not make a difference? The opportunity slips by and we live with the inconvenience. Realtors call it being house-blind. We work about our idiosyncratic life-styles, when just a "matter of inches" could make such a difference. And our dreams pass us by.
