I was looking forward to something like Grace Notes in Living A Beautiful Life. The practical things like setting a pretty table and making your bath your own private oasis. This was more meditations and deep thoughts. I ended up using it as an On This Day quote journal. Because of that I will keep and refer back to. The actual book bored me. I've already finish up the year of writing holiday quotes and yearly reminders in it. 😒 #myyearinbooks

Crinoline_Laphroaig Living a Beautiful Life was one of the first books I ever read on making a house a home. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, clutter and chaos was the norm. It was life changing for twentysomething me. My well-loved copy had all my favorite things highlighted. When I looked at it I always focused on those notes.

Rereading replacement copy, all these years later, I'm surprised at how many things have become part of my routines.

2024 #DailyRead. Stumbled across Grace Notes while searching for replacement books on eBay. I read Living A Beautiful Life years ago and had a battered copy marked with favorite things. It was one of the first books to teach me about making a house a home. Published in 1986 I'm sure it's dated but I want to revisit.

Grace Notes has Daily Quotes and Rituals. It to may be dated but we're going to give it a try.🫖
