No one likes renovations
Until they’re complete.

This makes me think of C.S. Lewis’ stuff in Mere Xianity about Him moving into your “house” and remodeling everything far beyond what you’d imagined. I like it!

Ah, I don’t remember that part–it’s been so long since I read that and I loved all the parts I read, but never had time to actually finish it. Perhaps this summer I’ll do so! 🙂
Apr 20, 2012 @ 12:24:14
Very true.
Apr 20, 2012 @ 13:54:38
And expensive 😉
Apr 20, 2012 @ 13:35:08
Haha, never thought this. loved it.
Apr 20, 2012 @ 13:55:09
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Apr 20, 2012 @ 14:18:49
no no .. i do i do …

Wow, really? What is it that you enjoy about the process? Is it watching the transformation take place? That is pretty cool, I must admit 🙂
Apr 20, 2012 @ 20:44:07
I agree with you, but the end result is so exciting. I don’t mind messy work if the end result is a prize :-)Nice Haiku.
Apr 20, 2012 @ 21:57:22
Yes, the old ends justify the means argument 😉 I think it is often valid 🙂

Amen to that ~~ Day 20 ~~ Renovations
