Not My Best Week

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.   Benjamin Disraeli

This has been an extremely stressful week.  Stress is not good. (Duh)  I seem to have a lot of it, especially since I no longer live by myself, but this week was 100+ on a scale of 1-100.  Bottom line, I didn't accomplish much.  I tried but found myself just standing looking around and unable to make any decisions on where to start.

So what am I going to do about it?  I'm going to keep going in there every day and do the best I can.  One of my daughter's friends was over and I asked her if she could tell a difference, since the last time she'd been here.  She was honest and said no.  My daughter told her I really HAD made a lot of progress and I appreciate your support, one more time.  My reaction was, "gee, I really need to double my efforts".  My new goal this week is to do two 15 minute sessions every day.

Something I'm going to try is listing what I accomplish every day.  I found two great blogs this week and one of them does this.  Here's the two sites if you'd like to check them out:

A Slob Comes Clean - I can relate to how she changed her thinking and her behavior and plan to incorporate several of her methods in my daily routine.  It took me a long time to find this blog and I feel as tho I hit pay dirt when I did!  Perhaps it's because I can relate to her and I don't feel as though she's a professional organizer.

From Under the Pile - Ohhhh, I LOVE this blog!!!  I really connected with the second one.  It's awesome when you discover a blog and it's like they're inside your head and know what you're thinking and how you feel.

Time for me to get off the computer and go do my first 15 minutes.

Wonder what I'll discover,

  1. I'm so proud of you mom! I know you will get everything accomplished that you have set your mind on. I'm glad you have started the 15 min a day thing. I bet once you start you keep going after the 15 min. I hope you are having some fun while cleaning and going through things. I bet you are finding a lot of things with precious memories. Keep it up! I love you.
