Rip Up the Carpet

Over the past few weeks I had become despondent over the condition of the carpet in my home. If you know me well, then you know I can get almost OCD when something starts bothering me.

It was affecting my sleep - Affecting how I felt about even coming home. I had to get it fixed before it destroyed my sanity. I went to the carpet store priced out new carpet. I even rented a steam cleaner. Bought all kinds of cleaners, etc. But something told me to rip up a corner of the carpet. I did that to find gorgeous old hardwood floors.

Who would cover up these floors? Well maybe at the time they needed to be protected. Maybe at the time the occupants needed the warmth. Maybe there was a blemish that someone needed to cover up.

----The moral of the story---

Over the years in your life, you have had to cover up a blemish, or protect yourself, or create warmth with a carpet.

But I am writing to you to say -- It might be time to rip up the carpet and see the beauty that lies beneath. What you are covering is better than was is covering. As for me: Today I am spending my day ripping up carpet.‪#‎ByrdOlogy‬
