SOUL FEELINGS

Recall the kind of feeling you have when someone praises you, when you are approved, accepted, applauded. And contrast that with the kind of feeling that arises within you when you look at the sunset or the sunrise, or nature in general or when you read a book or watch a movie that you thoroughly enjoy. Get the taste of this feeling.

And contrast it with the first namely the one that was generated with you when you were praised. Understand that the first type of feeling comes from self-glorification, self promotion. It is a worldly feeling. The second comes from self- fulfillment , a soul feeling.

STORAGE AND SPACE MAKING

Until you are ready to make structural changes, you can give the illusion of more space by controlling clutter through good storage, and bouncing more light into the room using pale colors, large mirrors or even minored wall tiles.

Banish the bevy of bottles that always wind up on bench tops, windowsills, bath and shower recesses. Keep everything more tidy, yet still close at hand, by installing shelves under or over your vanity; or by using a butler's tray on a fold up frame, or old wooden dessert trolley you've refinished.

For a high tech look hang wire grid wall racks with interchangeable hooks and baskets to hold bulky hair dryers, shavers, styling mousse, shaving cream, brushes and combs; installing this near a mirror and power outlet is best. Smaller items could be contained in handsome cane or lacquer carry trays easily moved aside when more bench space is needed.

Check supports, stakes and ties for climbers and other plants in that could be bowled over by winter gales.

Plant deciduous trees and shrubs and fruit trees when the weather is fine. Clean glass panes in the greenhouse or conservatory so that plants can make the most of scarce winter sunlight.
