Radical acceptance. A basic buddhist concept, applied to my kitchen. Radical acceptance is simple. You stop fighting reality. In my case, I dreamed of a bigger, better kitchen, one that would never be able to be built in my actual house with our actual money and actual home values in our actual neighborhood. The minute I gave this up, a miracle happened. At Lowes. We decided to buy new counter tops. They came with a free sink. Then we needed a backsplash. A faucet. Might as well install a real hood that actually vents outside (enough with sneezing the minute the chilis drop in the oil). And while we're opening the backsplash, I've always wanted under-cabinet lighting. Finally, the glass rack we bought at the Container Store but never installed. Then, my fairy godmother waved her wand and this happened (well, okay, three weeks and a good contractor).
This has truly changed my life.
