Years ago, friend of ours took a calligraphy class and made a nice wall plaque for us. It’s a quote from some Readers Digest thing. We’ve lost the plaque and I can’t find the relevant quote on line, but I’ll give you what I remember.
“*We make a bit of order in our lives and the large things over which we have no control no longer concern us.
We do it with the arrangement of a room, the flowers in a garden, the colors in a painting.
We make a bit of order and we find peace.*”
Yes! I’ve pulled hard on this quote over the last week.
Everything’s gonna be OK.

This one really resonates with me.
I'm doing a lot of order-making as the process of unpacking and organizing the new house continues. I also get that kind of comfort from playing the piano, writing, cooking, and gardening. Various household chores can do it, too, but the knowledge that the floor/dishes/bathroom/laundry are just going to need doing again dims the glow a bit.

Order! Yes, I'm going to order some things from Amazon. That should calm me down, at least a bit.

I’m concentrating on making order singing in 2 choirs. It is very rewarding to get the harmonies right.
I can only control my little corner of the world, and what I can’t actually control…I control my reaction to it.

Bringing order to the yard here....lots of leaf raking....
As always, working outside is very grounding.
