Since creating the “to be continued” blog, I’ve been closing each post with the words “dwell in possibilities.” I must confess that I borrowed this phrase from the great poet, Emily Dickinson. I saw her quote and realized that it summed up what I am doing as a professional home stager and interior designer.

I am most grateful to Ms. Dickinson for her insightful and inspiring phrase.

Regardless of the size or price range of a house, my objective is to find the possibilities in that house. I am looking for those unique features of that house and finding possible ways to accentuate them for the potential buyer. I am analyzing those unusual spaces that buyers find difficult to understand upon first glance and finding possible functional uses for those spaces.

In the end, my mission is to help the potential buyer see how they could dwell in the possibilities of this house!

Thoughts and Reflections on Coexistence, Gratitude, and Thanksgiving

A few fun thoughts and a few reflections for your consideration and enjoyment.

·       Coexistence:  what the farmer does with the turkey - until Thanksgiving. ~ Mike Connolly

·         As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

·         An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. ~Irv Kupcinet

·         Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. ~Theodore Roosevelt

·      Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way. ~Native American Saying

·         He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."  ~ Epictetus

·         Thanksgiving is America's national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty.  ~Michael Dresser

·         A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. ~Cicero

·         To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. ~Johannes A. Gaertner

·         Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting. ~ Author Unknown

·         Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday.  People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year.  And then discover once a year is way too often. ~Johnny Carson

Thanks for your partnership, support and kindness. 

Dwell in the possibilities of thanks and gratitude.
