Home Improvements

Ever since I moved in last year, I have been steadily making changes and improvements to things.  My Dad is very handy, so he has installed a dishwasher, a garage door opener, a trellis for roses, lighting in the basement, and storage in the garage.

I have put up curtains, painted, reorganized rooms, and assembled furniture.  I have managed to acquire a couple extra beds and a toy kitchen, which I assembled today.

My next few projects are the backyard and more painting.

I also suspect that I need to buy a few more bookcases, as I am running out of room. 

If I add foster kids or adopt, I need to shift a few things around.  In many ways it seem like an unending process of renewal and change.  Which is the point, change is always occurring. 

The trick for me is to decide whether the change is just because I want something new or if it is necessary for my living.  Most of the time, I think it is not necessary but just my desire for newness.
