I spent the weekend remodeling my dining room.  When I moved in, it had dark blue border & two seriously dark blue walls.  At first, it made me shutter & though I owned nothing remotely blue, I left it be.  I walked by this room so many times that I ceased noticing it after awhile.  I've lived with this; though every now & then I thought, ugh!

Well, I woke up Saturday morning after a thoroughly emotionally exhausting Friday night…..and thought, today is the day to fix the dining room.  Now how do I go from emotional upheaval to home décor project?  Well I'm about to give you a glimpse into the mind o' mine… I must warn you that it works in totally mysterious & often frightening mad ways…

You see, I learned long ago to find healthy outlets to emotional disasters.  At least, I think this is a healthy process.  Find something you can change and do that.  Find something you enjoy doing (physically) and do that.  Your outlook is bound to improve and if it doesn't, you have some instant gratification in improving at least something in your life…like your nasty looking dining room.  Sort of a rebirth process….

This helps a person refocus on reality and not fall; swimming into the mind --rehashing conversations and/ or confrontations…hoping for the set of words that would reverse that which just occurred….This ain't gonna happen.  You can't replay in your mind until the scene changes because the scene doesn't change.  

What you do afterwards is the only thing you have the power to control.  If you lose, then don't lose the lesson friends.  Do something positive with the pain.  Don't wallow in it.  Decorate your dining room and report back to this blog.
