Interior Decorating...

Ohhh what to say, what to say... ?

Excuse me.

"what to write, what to write...?"

Lately I have fallen completely in passionate love-- with this little (comprehensively insignificant) life I get to live. Jesus has blessed me out the wazoo. It's the little things I notice, mind-- those are the ones I've been taking into account more often. I usually overlook them. But maybe, just maybe, my constant prayer to be "given new eyes" is slowly allowing me to see things differently. Praise the Lord for His good works and faithful promise of their endurance. :)

I think one of the signs that you are getting "old" (well, at least becoming more mature, ha) is when your interests start to subconsciously mirror those of a real, live adult. A point where, for instance, you get more excited about shopping at the JCPenny Home Store for cool household items than you do at the mall for new clothes.
Ladies and gents: I think have arrived.

When did that happen?
I don't have an answer. It happened while my back was turned, apparently. ;)

Yesterday, I journeyed to Springfield (my second home, where I now abide for about 9 months out of the year) and purchased a new bedspread for my room at the LSC House. It was on sale. And it was just exactly what I was looking for! I also bought some cork board for the wall, a dry-erase wall calendar, and some canvas hangers (also for the wall). This was, to me, a perfectly productive shopping trip.
I've also worked all summer on decorations for my soon-to-be walls, and they've turned out really well. I just need (well, want is more like it) a sepia-toned wall map and I think everything will be set. (Once again, I can make due without the map, but good golly I just LOVE looking at maps, and it would correspond perfectly with the wall project I have conceived in my head).

And here is what I envision for the afore mentioned (parenthetically-- ha) wall project:

In my mind, I see these six canvases hung sporadically around the wall map I have yet to obtain.
They represent a country/region of the world, and say: "To The Ends of the Earth"-- a reference from the Bible's Acts 1:8. Somewhere (like in the middle of the map, maybe? who knows) I'd like to have that phrase written in English-- for, as you will soon see (if you choose to follow the link), each canvas has that same phrase written upon it, but it is penned in a native tongue from the region it represents.
I chose Latin America (Spanish), Eastern/Slavic Europe (Ukranian?), Africa (Swahili), East Asia (Indonesian language), India/Middle East (Hindi), and South America/Tribal Groups (Nahuatl) to be represented upon my wall.
Here is a link to where pictures of these canvases (plus a few other decorating items) are posted on facebook:

...just for anyone who might read this and be curious.
Orrrr... you can just look at them on facebook, I guess. :)

Well, I'll be. It's almost time for my daily exercising session!
Until next time...
