“Hoooooo newww? Thalia drops silent and unnecessary letters. Calliope surveys the new layout. “Shifting a few sticks of seating… totally transforms our feelings about the space!” “Feng shui —” Nia looks up the term. “The way of wind and water.” The one fact that I would cry from every housetop is this: the Good Life is waiting for us — here and now.
I think there was a reality TV show that did that- took all the furniture out of the room, and then brought it back in a completely new arrangement. I would love to hire someone to do that for my living room. Maybe that will be your next act, Gail.
Ha! That’s my middle act experiencing a reprisal. This week has been a flurry of prep for out of town guests. Yesterday I turned the spare into a cozy and inviting nook again… for years it stood empty because N took the bed to college. The room became a catch-all.
We actually have two chairs kinda like that. Old and very lived in (two dogs now have found them perfectly comfortable!) they hold me perfectly for reading and sometimes writing. I can’t image finding ones I’d like more. I’d get them reupholstered if it didn’t cost more than buying new chairs. 🤷♀️
That Thalia! Dropping the unnecessary, but adding some essential ones. 🙃
I read recently that the English word for Feng Shui is “paddle boarding.” 😬
B. F. Skinner was an important force in psychology concerning learning theories and principles. Stimulus/Response. Somehow today’s quote from him renders a softer version of him than I knew. Grateful.
Ha! That (adds some essential ones) would have been a great addition to the opening paragraph! 😁
Haven’t been out on the board since… Thursday. :( Hopefully after the 4th. I’m not going near a lake until after then… too peopley with motors this weekend.
I had an interest in Skinner for awhile. I cannot recall what article/attributes drew me to him.
I find almost everyone has something interesting to offer!

It’s been fun.
Happy 4th!
I like the old-fashioned curl-up-with-a-book chair drawing! 💚
Thanks Jack!

Now to find a well-suited housetop!

“I find almost everyone has something interesting to offer!” ~Typist
The above quote by Typist could only come from someone who understands the idea that Whitman so eloquently expressed with four beautiful words.
“Be curious, not judgmental.”
~Walt Whitman

It’s taken me a while… to be open. I am living proof that it is possible! 😂
