Off to a Good Start!
I just returned from a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and I came back with a new attitude! Before I left, I felt stressed and overwhelmed about life in general.
My list of things I had to accomplish was growing faster than I could handle, which forced me to put aside those things I really wanted to accomplish. I’m not sure at which point things started to get out of hand for me, but I do know one thing, I am not alone.
On my trip, I indulged in watching more television than is typically normal. All week I was addicted to ‘Clean House’, a show about people who let clutter build up around them and as a result end up stressed and overwhelmed (not too different than how I was feeling). Now, my house isn’t to the cluttered extreme of those featured on the show, but I connected with them on an emotional level.
So, upon my return, one of the first things I did was devise a plan to organize. In the end, I had piles of stuff to donate and many helpful yards of new storage space! I feel fantastic now! I actually do feel like my mind is clearer.
So, today, on one of my last days to relax before returning to work, I am going to do something I haven’t done in a while. I am going to get a book from the library and read it! And then, I am going to stitch up this lovely violet bookmark project that Pam Kellogg designed so I can mark my progress each day as I read a new chapter!
I hope you have a happy and healthy new year, one that is filled with enough time to indulge in the things you really want to accomplish!
Enjoy,
Dennise
