So hard to believe that the school buses are rolling this week… Where has the summer gone? It has been busy for most of us, too busy at times. Is it just me, or are the responsibilities on our plates multiplying at breakneck speed?
Of course, I can attribute our major home renovation project as something consuming a great deal of time and energy for a lot of my time this summer. But I tend to forget that during that time I was also able to sit and reread a series of five books by James Redfield starting with “The Celestine Prophecy” written in 1993. There was a lot of quiet time to read and reflect throughout recent weeks. What a wonderful respite in a busy season…
And the renovation project was wonderful in a strange way, too. I was not expecting to have the flashback memories of a child growing up with a dad and brothers who spent lots of time buzzing saws and hammering nails and planning their next wood-working project… The smell of sawdust and paint and the communication of tool and workmen in the distance carried me back to my roots on many days.
The ebb and flow of early morning greetings, lunch time communications, text messages and phone calls about schedule modifications throughout any day or week all seemed so normal. Who would have thought that such a disruptive project to our home life could have ended up having a joyous life of it’s own?!!
Now the house is quiet again, the workman gone on to other places, and in its wake is a magnificent area of my home that is truly a work of art, filled with unexpected memories of my youth and ready for a new chapter of life in the years to come… Glad all is done and settled, yet I miss the energy and interaction of a professional team making a dream on paper come to life…
If you live in Greenville, North Carolina I have an excellent contractor and crew to recommend! (Thank you, HALCO Construction, Inc.!) This home renovation project was a delightful experience, and the outcome truly amazing… 🙂
