Lately I have been thinking about my approach and I would like to adopt a more constructed way of living. Not to please anyone else or anything, but just because some things just don't happen on their own (like matching socks and refinshed kitchen tables). As much as I love the free and easy natural charm of life - sometimes I want the shiny-pretty, formed thing.
I won't go overboard though (as if I was capable of doing so). Every once in a great while, my current approach to life has a away of working out:
