"Nest"
Ironically, the cheerful colors of this card do not reflect my thoughts on the topics. This was the longest it has taken me to think what I wanted to create and write about during this challenge. At first I thought about pregnancy "nesting", but I didn't do that intensely.
As I pondered the idea of "nest" in my life, I kept coming back to my house. I live in a modest Cape Cod with pretty good "bones." I want to love it because I know that I am blessed to have the home I have. But the place drives me crazy! I get so weird about it. I'll pull up entire rooms of carpet while my husband is at work. I've painted the basement FIVE TIMES in six years. I mess with one particular flower bed every single year (and I'm talking new shape, different perennials, strange summer bulbs...) Whenever I have to deep clean my living room...I rearrange all the furniture. This place stresses me out and it is all about control. (I don't have any real control, so I do all this dumb stuff in an effort to dominate my environment.) Why, when I know this about myself, can't I stop?
