before and after

years ago I painted this little motto above Alison's closet doors

while she was here visiting last week

she said

"I need to take a picture of this"

she is referring to my "nest"

my side of the bed

filled, stacked, to over flowing

books, papers, stuff

always multiplying 

my little "prayer rug" covered

cast off papers read

ready to junk

well, Tweety joined me in a little organization project

i hauled this little piece out of the basement

not being used

cleared off my nightstand

repositioned my little rug...inviting me

so alison, isn't this much better?

a motto above the closet

a good reminder
