THE ART OF PATIENCE.


When you were a child, remember the times when Christmas felt like an eternity away? And when it finally did draw closer, you kept asking your mum over and over about when it was? And then on Christmas eve, you couldn't sleep from the excitement?

Well, as the years go by, you grow up and find out that Father Christmas wasn't real, and the joy of it fades, and then one day you realise that there isn't much that excites you these days.

Today, that feeling is back. I feel like a child again. I'm sitting here at work and really wanting to be at home. Because today, the cabinet maker is at my house installing my brand new kitchen.

And I can't wait!

  1. How wonderful!

    Today you can 'anticipate the good so that it may last longer' and I will be too waiting to see the pictures of your glorious new kitchen.

    Happy day!

  7. Oh I remember that feeling only too well Kymmie. I still get it from time to time, but not often. I would TOTALLY get it if I was going home to a brand new kitchen though. Lucky you! Can't wait to see the finished product :o) xo
    P.S. Love that pic!

  13. I know that feeling oh to well - and I'm so glad I do! We're in the process of getting a new garage - and I can't wait! Construction doesn't start until 1st Sept, but I'm still so excited!

    Oh and today is Hubby's birthday and I've splurged and bought him a PS3 that he's been hassling me about for years, so I can't wait to see the look on his face when he unwraps it tonight! Nothing like being excited for someone else's excitement. ;)
