Unfinished Worked

I think we all have these bits of unfinished business. The painting in the hallway, waiting for months to be hung, The pile of the laundry sink that will rot before they are hand washed.

The burnt-out lightbulbs that are only replaced when on the darkness.
And it occurred to me. as I was frothing my milk one morning, that these imperfections in our homes reflect something quite beautiful about our lives. Well,"I' m going to turn over a new leaf I told her "I'm going out to buy a new lid tomorrow"
I didn't of course. it been two weeks since that conversation But I'm absolute, definitely going to buy it soon.
