What Calms Me

My "thing" is always having the breakfast 

table set. It's where we eat. If that's done, 

I'm OK. I like need to see an organized,

pretty place to relax and have our next meal. 

Whatever else may be going on in the rest 

of the house, at least this space is calming 

and waiting for me.

Sometimes I make big changes, but usually
 it's a little weekly tweeking to freshen-up

 the look. It takes me just a few minutes
to spritz the glass top, add different 

placemats, napkins, maybe  a runner, 

or tablecloth; and add something

 to the centerpiece.

Maybe change the dishes.

I've had this one, more-or-less, for weeks. 

They usually don't last that long before

 I get bored with them or get inspired
 with a new idea. 

So when I need a sense of calmness, 

I set the table. What do you do? 

Cheers!
