Day 6

Yes, my utensils make me happy! Usually I don't give this drawer a second look. I open it in a hasty rush to set the table, grab what I need for cooking, or to as quickly as possible give myself a mechanism to insert peanut butter into my mouth! This week my kids are visiting their aunt out of town and that folks is a game changer. MY LIFE SLOWS DOWN. Upon slowing down and opening this drawer, I noticed 2 things. 1) My silverware had seen better days. While still fully functional it was scratched and simply put - "Not pretty". 2) The drawer was dirty! Food, crumbs, splats, whatever collects in drawers from a family of 4 had definitely collected in this drawer! Yikes! So with my new found slow down in life and some "extra" time, I cleaned out the drawer and switched out my silverware with the super-doper-fancy-wedding set I received 15 years ago from family and friends but have never used... FIFTEEN YEARS! So now everyday, multiple times per day, at every meal, I am using the pretty stuff from the clean drawer. Every time I look into that drawer, I smile. It makes me happy.
