I totally agree with you: decorating, tweaking and styling or staging (for blogs, for example), is fun, but on an every day basis, it is the usual chores, or rather, activities, that keep our houses in order, that I find rewarding. I like a clean, tidy home, it's important for my psyche, as I spend a lot of time in this space. Sweeping and mopping physically forces dirt out of my house and, ultimately, heaviness out of my heart. <br /><br />Poppy<br />Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-74252980267995862922013-05-22T08:21:26.892-07:002013-05-22T08:21:26.892-07:00Love, love this post, Melanie.

Knowing I have a full day to just be in my home and foof if I want, or rearrange, or clean or organize, or water the plants, makes me happy. A year or so ago, the cable installer came in our kitchen door and said, "This is a happy house. I can tell...this is a happy house." I hope that's what my home says about me.<br /><br />xo<br />ClaudiaClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691249261693845371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-6667353640356471362013-05-22T07:43:30.362-07:002013-05-22T07:43:30.362-07:00That is quite a compliment to me, Rhonda!

About a year ago now, someone I thought was a friend was very cruel to me with comments about my home. She loves coming here so it cut into me like a knife. I have blogged less and less since then. I just could not get over it. It cut into my soul as if she put a knife in my heart. So I find loving home is really a part of who I am and you worded it very well.<br /><br />Hugs from Holland ~<br />HeidiHeidiInHollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042160177913867405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-29077190358771236232013-05-21T21:10:36.886-07:002013-05-21T21:10:36.886-07:00I am busy, busy, busy during the week and I love b...I am busy, busy, busy during the week and I love being physically active, but on Saturday morning, I want most to be at my house puttering just like you. I love tweaking and moving and finding the perfect look. I love to walk into my home at the end of the day and see flowers on the table and my garden ahead of me as I look through the living room windows. <br /><br />I have talked with people who hate being at home. I love to travel, but I also am content to "cocoon" in the nest we have built.<br /><br />Lovely post!Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-58838155403627891812013-05-21T18:51:48.058-07:002013-05-21T18:51:48.058-07:00From what I've seen of your home in pictures, ...From what I've seen of your home in pictures, Brenda, your home is definitely comfy and cozy.
