Welcome

This blog is my written, and pictorial, exploration and development of my philosophy of
Having a Rich Life.

A woodstove, flowers, stained glass windows, a sleeping dog, as I gaze around my living room my eyes are pleased by the timelessness of my home. Aesthetics are key to my feeling of having a rich life.

The antithesis of timelessness is clothing labels and tags. Good quality clothing of any era does not have visible tags or labels. When I purchase a piece of clothing the first step in customizing it is to remove the tags and labels. Tags cause bunching, they stick out the neck of shirts distracting from the composition of my outfit. I carefully cut the tags off my blankets, pillows, pillowcases. Sheets, napkins, table cloths- I’m not sure that the lack of tag actually makes inexpensive, new, items look older or better quality, but I am certain that tags make anything look cheaper and of lesser quality.

At some time in the middle of last night, the number of items on our porch "waiting to be put away" crossed my invisible, but very real line. Stepping out onto the porch this out this morning to feed the birds, I was driven to put everything in its place and sweep. All while still in my pajamas.

Having a clean, well-kept home contributes to my feeling of richness in life. More specifically, not having a fresh, well- kept house causes me to feel the opposite- dirty, poor, scruffy.
