Better get to living

I was recently turned onto a song by Dolly Parton. Now for those of you who regularly read this blog, you must think I have flipped my lid to mention her in the middle of a blog full of ideas on rugs and how to design with them and use rugs to enhance to home interior.

So why am I mentioning Dolly? That is an easy one-because her song "Better get to livin" basically discusses how far too often we wallow in our own sadness and short sightedness. I was recently on vacation and on the way home I grabbed a USA Today and a Wall Street Journal. Good grief I thought, things are getting to be really dicy out there right now. Between the jobs problem, the war, the budget deficit...well-you get the picture.

So what can be done? To put it quite simply, get to livin'. Sure things may be a bit more challenging now than they were a few years ago-I know they are for me. Maybe life does not present as many exciting options as it did at one time-but you can still enjoy your family and dear friends, still spend time at home watching your favorite shows...take a few moments to watch the video on YouTube of Dolly Parton's song-and leave a comment with me if you like. Thanks for reading...with the next blog we will most assuredly return to the subject of area rugs! :)
