I’m glad I kept White Cabana alive even if I haven’t posted in two years. During this time, I have regularly shared links to old blog posts with friends (mostly for travel ideas). Each time I shared a link, I was able to have a little walk down memory lane, which made me smile.

And smiling is good.

Yesterday, I read through pages of my old blog posts. And you know what?

I really really really like White Cabana.

I have shared some beautiful spaces and objects over the years. I have shared some personal stories, too. I have shared so many travel photos. To my surprise, I still like just about all that I have shared. I was surprised to discover this actually. Even though a lot has changed in two years, there’s plenty that hasn’t.

I still dress in black and white.

I still use this Bentgo lunch box.

I still have an organized pantry in an antique French armoire.

I am still crocheting this blanket. Sigh.

I still would love a black and white striped sofa.

I still love doing the Globe and Mail crossword puzzle on Saturday mornings.

I still get this jumbo calendar each fall.

And I am still looking for the best kitchen garbage set-up. Help?

Reading years worth of my writing was interesting. It was interesting to observe the evolution of my writing and my blog. I clearly remember writing some posts, and I have no memories of others. I guess that’s natural.

Perhaps in two more years, I’ll be reading this blog post, remembering this time when I felt compelled to write.
