There are so many times that I have an idea in my head. Really at least 4 to 5 ideas pop into my head everyday. I walk through my day looking at things thinking oh my I could so make that better if I could just change this or that. It really is a pain because you sometimes can’t focus on what you want to do for what you think you might do. It gets me in trouble some many times. Poor Greg he knows the look on my face and whats about to happen.
Recently I found this head-board in an auction and had to have it because an idea popped into my little head. When we went to pick it up at Rustybydesignauction.com in Forney Texas I talked none stop. Greg finally said okay I got it honey you want to make a bench out of it with some chairs and blah, blah, blah. Well it sorta went like that but really I had great plans of painting it turquoise. I wanted vintage and shabby chic. So I did and then I stepped back and realize that wasn’t the color this piece needed. I’m guilty of self blinding. What does that mean? Well I get this idea in my head and its full steam ahead. No one can tell me any different. Greg tried to get me off the turquoise color but nope I wouldn’t hear it. Now that I stand back and look at the color it’s really not right. So it’s back to the color chart from Chalk Country and I’ve picked a new color. This time it’s pleasing to the eye, soft and works with what I’ve done to the bench seat. It’s hard to admit that you might not see things the way they really are. Sometimes you just need to move on and roll with it. I can’t wait to share this finished project with you very soon.
Life is often like the bad color choice issue. It’s hard to look at what is happening in our life and admit that we might be the problem. I mean who in the world wants to admit that you are the center of the issue and not at all the solution to the problem. I know I don’t but it takes a strong person to step back and then step up and say I’m part of the problem here. There is always two sides to every story and fault is carried by us all in so many cases. In the end of each day we have to look back on that day and be at peace with our own actions. You have to ask yourself did you feed the anger and pain, did you show a good heart and let go of what is holding you down and were you the person who stepped back then up to face your part in a problem. From the simplest life problem to the biggest of life issue we all need to look at our part. We need to strive to be the fix not the fault. We need to open our hearts and allow ourselves the ability to admit fault. Without that open heart we continue to live in the hate and anger without healing.
