Thrum Thursday: Margins

Thrum - \ˈthrəm\- noun - A term for fringe or short lengths of materials which suggest fringe. Specifically, the end of warp which is not woven but remains on the loom when the woven fabric has been cut free.

Thrum Thursday: looking at the "margins" of my life and seeing how to make pretty "fringe" out of it.

I was thinking today about my post and remembered that Thrum Thursdays are about looking at the "margins" of my life. This made me look up the meaning of the word margin:

• the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary;
• an amount beyond the minimum necessary;
• the blank space that surrounds the text on a page

On margins:

Give time for little things. Give some time talking to a child, pouring myself a good cup of coffee, comforting someone, cleaning the toilet, learning to cook Tom Yam from Mommy, helping the blind person to cross the road, marvelling at the sunset, or just watching the street busker performing.

Margins are where real life happens. May your margins be wide!
