Visitors and closer looks

I invited members of the UVAG board to come to my home tomorrow. I intend to show them my studio which is been revitalized and turned into a place of serenity and creativity by virtue of changing some of my behaviors and ideas.  Although my home is now much more orderly than it used to be, knowing that I was inviting colleagues into my home made me take a closer look at areas that needed improvement.  Primary among these was my central hall where I store my outer clothing and shoes as well as the washer dryer and cleaning utensils such as my vacuum cleaner.  The upper parts of the walls had grown mold because of the moisture from the washer and dryer. In addition the doorway from the living room into the hallway was ugly and rough with broken plaster and voids.  After dropping my grandsons off at seminary this morning I went shopping for materials to change the situation in my hallway including lumber, molding and mold destroying primer/paint.  As I finish my day and welcome sleep I am grateful that I was able to take care of these issues .  My hallway is now a relatively pleasant place or at least it doesn't bring attention to its deficiencies.  I am grateful for accomplishing a task.
