365 Days of Gratitude and Simplicity Day 4

This isn't a Dress Rehearsal
"When you perform . . .you are out of yourself - larger and more potent, more beautiful. You are for minutes heroic. This is power. This is glory on earth. And it is yours, nightly. ~Agnes De Mille

Like an actress conserving her creative energy and focus for opening night, we hold back. Perhaps you save the pretty china for when company comes; perhaps your rarely dress up when home alone. 

It does take more effort to set an inviting table, but enhances our experience of eating. 

We all feel better when we take those few extra minutes to fix our hair and put on makeup, but what's more we act different. 

Today's challenge & exercise: Find something and give it an extra 5 minutes. Table setting, getting dressed, cooking an new side dish. 

Write down you gratitude for the day.
