Lined up five little green vases with five little daisies

     Frustrated is an understatement these days.  I take two steps forward and fifteen back...not even just the one.  The flow of my day is broken up into a million little chunks of tricky.  Even cleaning.  But I keep going because that's what I do.  Even in a rant or a breakdown I am fighting myself to be the optimist that I am in my heart of hearts.  Today I dug into some good spring cleaning in my bedroom.  I moved unread books, dusted, vacuumed, reminded the spiders whose room it is, etc...
     It would have JUST been a day of regular old cleaning until I peered over to a little present that I inadvertently left for myself.  Or maybe it was deliberate.  Or subconscious.  Eh, don't really care at this point...just thrilled it was done.  I had a bag that contained some odds and ends from Ikea that were never put out.  (My bedroom is slowly but surely getting a tiny makeover). So today I busted out the adorable little glass vases in the most delicious shade of green.  They were so darn cheap I bought five.  I lined them up on the windowsill and popped little white daisies into them. 
     I can't make everything better as fast as I want to.  I can't clean up the messes in my life with the speed of a dyson vacuum.  I can make a window clear again but life gets cloudy.  But what I can do is make something just a little bit prettier than it was just a bit before and hope that the trend continues.
