Wandering Thoughts

Confession. Most of this has been written for 3 days. Ive been putting off finishing and posting it because then it will be real...and I'll actually have to do it.... So, last week I wrote about needing to declutter. Here's my plan of action. I read a blog post early this week that got me thinking. It was '52 weeks to a decluttered home'. She broke down her house into 52 different projects and worked on 1 per week. At first, I loved the idea. It seemed simple and easy to accomplish. Then the more I thought about it the more I realized I do not want to be decluttering  this house for a year!! Now, I realize in order to keep the house decluttered it has to be an on going thing but Id rather get to a reasonable place quickly, then try to maintain.  So rather than 52 small projects (like one bookshelf) per week, Im going to break it down by room and based on the amoumt of decluttering that needs to happen, give myself a time frame. For example, my front room has 2 tiny tab

A little reminder went off on my phone this morning. Just one word....'Write'.... Well, thanks Jane from last week, Maybe you could have given me a little hint as to what I'm supposed to write? Going from a once a year blogger to attempting one per week is a little.... frightening. However, writing is good for my soul. I'm surrounded by so much noise all the time and writing helps me hear my own thoughts and make sense of them. So welcome. Glad you could join me on this possible record breaking occasion. 2 posts within 7 days. Watch out. One thing I have noticed is that knowing I set a goal to write on Fridays makes me think throughout the week about what I am going to write. Imagine that! There is one phrase that has been bouncing around in my head all week. 'You can't pour from an empty cup'. Now its time to use your imaginations for a second. I promise it won't hurt. Picture this... there are 2 full glasses of water and an endless row of empty glass

Well, I got on Facebook this morning and thanks to FB memories, I discovered it's been over a year since my last post. You were all supposed to remind me that I was supposed to be writing regularly and going to bed at a decent time. Guess you're all busy like I am :) I left off last post saying I was going to work on improving one area of my life at a time in order to have a less chaotic day to day lifestyle. First step, go to bed at a decent time. Well... so much for that. The only thing I worked on this last year was bringing a little guy named Oliver into our family. He was born about 3 months ago and we're all head over heals for him. However, he's definitely not helped with the bed time.  So, Its time to get real... I have a confession to make. I'm guilty of being a Facebook faker. I think most of us are to an extent and I think that is ok. In order to not annoying my Facebook 'friends', I do the best I can to stay away from negativity and anyt
