Elevate the mundane - week 2

Determined to change my headspace this year I have decided to try and look for the beauty in my everyday tasks. To elevate the everyday mundane to something of significance, beauty and maybe joy.

Week 2 - The sky has been smoke filled for most of summer. Casting an orange hazy glow over everything. Yesterday morning as I hung out the first of 3 loads for the day I looked up to see perfect blue.

Week 1 - my ironing basket had grown to mammoth proportions this week. So while all the boys were out I put on the last series of 30 Rock and got stuck in. As each item started to line up on the clothes rack I couldn't help but notice the beautiful colours, patterns and fabrics. I really don't have such a bad wardrobe.
