Friday already. When I was a working girl, Friday's were the best, in fact Friday night was my favorite night of the week. Each Friday night as I lay in bed, I would think to myself....ah I have two days before work begins again. I did like my job, altho there were times when I definitely would rather be home. But now Friday's mean another week is almost over...where or where does all that time go?
I saw a great quote from Buddha the other day and boy does it ever apply to me..."The trouble is, you think you have time." That is me personified. I always think I have all this time, but time moves so quickly. Remember when we were little and we could hardly wait for Christmas to come...now I just want time to slow down and be able to enjoy the season one minute at a time.
Moving around my house during this festive season....this is the downstairs powder room. I recently moved this shelf from the dining room to the powder room. It sits above the toilet (I am not showing you that) and is the perfect spot to hold more Christmas goodies.
This is one of my favorite little Christmas figures (see full figure a couple of pics up)...he is just so winsome. I might even make him into one of my Christmas cards....and no I haven't sent out my cards yet.
I am sharing this at Sarah's Orange You Glad It's Friday....not perfectly orange, but close enough in my eyes. (for some reason I cannot seem to copy and paste Sarah's button, sorry)
I am off to have lunch with 3 of my sweet friends that I haven't seen in awhile. Looking forward to catching up....hope you have a great day planned.
Before I go, please stop by my collaborative blog, "Focusing on Life" where I am sharing 10 tips for great holiday photos.
Worth repeating...."The trouble is, you think you have time." ~ Buddha
Until next time....
That quote describes me, too. Time seems to fly by, these days.
ReplyDeleteLove your mug today. And, the shelf, too.
Have a great weekend.
I so love your photos! That little figurine would make a stunning Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the time thing. I never seem to have enough even though I never seem to get anything accomplished. Well, I do get things accomplished...just not the things I want to get accomplished. I am so impressed with your holiday decorations! Love all that red. Hope you had a great lunch with your three friends. That is never a waste of time!!
ReplyDeletelike the 'snow cakes' - too cute! but i LOVE that little bird in the nest!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your shelf filled with Christmas cheer in the powder room!
ReplyDeleteAll your decorations are so cute. All my favorite ones are still in a huge plastic bin in the center of my Dining Room floor. ugg. That would make a beautiful Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteLove your mug again today and thee sweet little bird in the nest. Such a charming collection of decorations in your home!

ReplyDeleteThanks for showing a little piece of your home. It's really interesting to see how others decorate their homes for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are so festive. Your quote is very timely. We all need to realize that no man is promised tomorrow. Hugs your kids tightly tonight.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I could have written your first paragraph - word-for-word! Beautiful holiday decorations and the cabinet works beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAnother great mug, and love, love the shelf and all the goodies in your bathroom!! Just came from FOL, great post there too! ; ) As for time, sheesh, not sure where mine has all gone to...haven't even done a post on my blog in over a week! Next week will be worse, kids have finals, early release...hubby out of town again. I will be a taxi cab x2 or with out a car, haven't decided...lol!

I love your last photo Deanna. What a cute little bird with leaf wings and tail - just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos.

I am loving all these beautiful photos. Your decorations are so pretty. I feel the exact same way about time. My girlfriends that still work always ask me what do you do with all your time. I am pretty much busy everyday. Its crazy.. I still don't get everything done that I would like to.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
