"Today, I act in small and concrete ways to bring beauty into my home.
I allow the hand of the Great Creator to work through me,
bringing grace and order to my surroundings."
Julia Cameron
TRANSITIONS
Small acts of beauty alter our attitude, and quality of life. Our perception improves and our actions towards others grow kinder. Do not wait for a weekend retreat or summer vacation. Explore where our feet are rooted, opening to the immediate presence of the Divine.
Creative actions can awaken all of our senses and reward us with beauty. A pot of soup or home made bread can give us a sense of comfort, and fill our space with delightful aromas. Shifting furniture or painting an old chair can bring feelings of newness. Stitching a quilt, knitting a hat, or altering curtains to design a pillow cover can transport our mood tremendously.
We can write a letter to a dear friend and experience the depths of friendship. We could retrieve a favorite book to visit what we once highlighted. To repot household plants will bring joy to our hands as we dig into the potting soil. It requires very little effort and reaps great rewards.
