FRESH THYME
Little Trios

FRESH THYME - sept 2026 - little.jpeg

I have always heard to decorate shelves in trios, as it’s pleasing to the eyes to look at groups of three.  I’ve found that little trios work in so many areas to please the psyche, the body, the spirit, and the soul.  Here are a few of mine I encourage you to try, when you’re wondering how to get out of your foul mood or sour disposition at any time of the day:

​

  • Pack a lunch, get in the car and find a shade tree, near a pretty view…and enjoy all three.

  • Light a candle, grab a piece of fruit, look out the window…and chill. 

  • Find a comfy chair, open a book, read out loud to yourself for at least 15 minutes.

  • Take a walk, put away your phone, and look up and around at creation.

  • Call a friend, invite them to an event, and put it on the calendar.

  • Buy a paper calendar, place it on the fridge, fill in the squares.

  • Search in photos for the next month (October), delete photos you don’t need, do this again next month…and the next.

  • Visit the Dollar Tree, purchase five organizers, go home and use them.

  • Eat a toasted bagel, some nut butter and dark chocolate.

  • Slice strawberries, and spread strawberry cream cheese on graham crackers.  Delish.

  • Find a pretty space or pot, plant some herbs, label them with markers…and indulge.

  • Pick a fall color, paint your own nails, and rub lotion into your dry hands.

  • Place a couple of books, a small plant, and a candle in several spots in your house.

  • Grab a cookbook, read it and enjoy it, then make one of the recipes.

  • Visit a bookstore, browse the sale section, and purchase one item under $10.

  • Browse your closet, put together outfits, snap a photo. 

  • Start a journal, write three thanks in it daily, while sipping your favorite tea…with lemon.

  • Find an audible book to listen to, clean a drawer, and dance when done.

  • Go on a personal fast food date, an appetizer at one, entrée at the next, and dessert at the last.

  • Add three little treats in your car: an air freshener, a pair of sneakers for walk, and a sweater in case…
