I’ve been enjoying my new windows, especially in the master bathroom, which we decided to do in a different style. It used to be a heavy double-hung window with a tattered old shade. Now it’s a nice side-by-side window with built-in blinds. Much improved!

Although I haven’t quite settled back down to my normal routine after the noise and disruption of last week’s window installation, I am feeling much better now that I have something new and cheerful to look at every day. When I walk into the bathroom, I tell myself that my worries are dissolving into the clear light of day and floating out the window. Nothing but dusty old history, no longer needed. Bye-bye.
