i cannot wait to hear what you name it - perhaps the word "idle" will make an appearance. 😉

Thank you! The name it came with was Clover Haus, but perhaps I will rename it. One of my favorite words is Idlewild--and that might be about as perfect a name as I can find! Thanks for the thought!!

I've been wrestling with the effect of expectations lately. This is a good reminder that friction between expectations and reality is part of the experience.

Yes, hard as it is, I think it is part of the experience. I just wish I could remember this more often--and be better at it by now : ).

Right? It's a head/heart disconnect I still haven't managed to...manage. Live with. Accept. Make peace with.

Yep. I suppose "practice with" might be what we are being invited to do : ). But ugh, can't anything be easy?? : ).

Practice, yes, that's the best word. Lots of good connotations there.
