Splash Into A Pool Of Backsplash Tile

So today on Oprah someone said, "you can't have peace until you have all the pieces." I am finding that out in life and in house remodeling. So, I am piecing together my life and piecing together our house at the same time. The house is more fun. :) I have samples of both of these colors of back splash tile. I am considering just doing something simple like this for the back splash. We will see how it looks when I get there in a few weeks. WAHOO!!! A few weeks. I can't believe I am going back home. It feels like forever since I was there and more than ever I am happy to be going. Now more than ever I am glad to have this special place. I am so happy there and don't have to focus on anything but the present and future and the positive. While I am at the house I am going to paint my butt off, literally. I am going to get it together there. Things were in disarray when we left. I look forward to having a three weeks or so to just work hard and watch girl movies. That is a whole different story for a different day...

Limbo

What does limbo look like to you?
Limbo to me is my memory of being the first automobile in a row on the ferry where you can see out so much better in the cold of your car that you don't want to go upstairs and get warm and have the reflective view that happens when the night comes and the lights in the waiting area glare off the windows and you can no longer see the islands and the water.

"Limbo" is any status where a person or project is held up, and nothing can be done until another action happens. I don't need to explain it any further than that.

I am in Limbo. My limbo is a Pacific Northwest, chilly, and beautiful limbo but it is limbo just the same. I miss my heaven. I miss the brisk air, the sound and sight of the blowing trees. The sound of quiet. I can't wait until I get back to our home. I look forward to reuniting with our special place. Not too long now for me.
