2015 is International Year of Light. I’m going to have my own personal Year of Light, and considering health is a topic near and dear to my heart, you’d be forgiven for thinking that I mean that I want to lighten my bodyweight.
But this year I want to lighten a different load—the weight of the contents in my house. I think that how a house’s interior looks has a huge influence on how you feel, day in and day out. So I have happily decided this year to make my house look light and airy. Every single thing in it will have a proper home. I will concentrate on the things that are important to me now and keep them in such a way that they are easy to access and to enjoy. This is going to be an exciting time. I will be cleaning up little messes that I’ve had hiding away in corners for years. When I have finished, my possessions will be a much more accurate indication of what I treasure in my life.
That will lighten my spirits as well as the house, I’m thinking! I am expecting this experience to be one of joy and peace. Sounds a bit like a Christmas message, doesn’t it? But joy and peace should reign in a house all year round, not just at Christmas.
