Sun! That is all. 

Sunday thoughts

The beginning of the week is a chance to start off fresh from diet to housework to remote work I plan to do my best. I have brought my collection of paper and office items downstairs to the dining room table. I like the feeling of sitting with "my stuff" and "organizing it" and my mind.
I got up at about 5:30 AM because I promised myself last night that I would not be lazy in the morning. Sunday is nap day anyways. Right? Besides sitting with my "stuff" and planning my week I plan on sitting with my parents for a few hours. I have been watching my TV shows upstairs and I feel like I should pay attention to them more. That means watching their shows with them because that is what they like to do. I will bring my knitting to that "party". It has been a long while since I picked up my knitting. How do I get inspired?
I am also planning on a walk. The weather forecast looks favorable for this plan even though it will be chilly. At least it is not supposed to rain!

Saturday Vibes

Today is Saturday. I have been busy clearing out emails which is fantastic. I am about to settle down to making a list of tasks that I would like to complete over the next two days. Fun times. I am so thankful to have a weekend that is mostly mine. I have a friend who recently had surgery and she has been needing extra help. That will continue for some time, but there is an end in site and she is recovering pretty well. I had issues with my digestion this week. I am feeling better, but have discovered that Truvia - Stevia was the culprit. For some people it is a good fit. Not me... Today I tried honey in my coffee. It is different than sweetener and I am not sure what I think of it yet. It is a healthy option.
I ordered some jeans this morning. I have gotten larger than I would like and I really miss wearing jeans. I don't know if these will fit or not. We shall see!
On the menu for later today is Bean/ham soup. I am really looking forward to it. My Dad surprised me by having it put together after he soaked the beans all night. It made me tear up.
I think that after I ready up for the day I am going to try to walk a bit. It is good for me and helps to clear my head.  xo

Life

Life is busy and not always fun. I feel stretched and out of control. I do not help myself or my health and I am scared. Why do I not pay better attention to my needs? I feel selfish without anyone really causing me to feel this way. I need to find a way love my journey and where I am going.

Found my blog. Funny thing....the last time I posted here I was watching the show Hoarders. That is what I am watching now!  LOL. The struggle for organization is real. This show inspires me. I need to find a health show for inspiration also. I am struggling.

Time for changes... Watching a Hoarders Show and it is inspiring me into wanting to get rid of clutter.  I have to much stuff.  I can walk around my place, don't get me wrong... BUT I feel closed in with papers, books and yarn.  As I get older I feel the need for less.  I never want to leave this world with to much stuff for other people to have to get rid of.  It sounds silly, but I worry about that!  Today I have a box ready for donations.  It is a start and perhaps if I can do that every week, then before to long, I can feel more comfortable in my own space.  Things that I love?  Purses, paper including calendars and yarn.  I use none of this stuff everyday.  So why do I like it so?  I also found about 8 new chapsticks that I seem to have bought over the winter.  Why??????  I don't even use that everyday!  I have alot to do here.

My Dad made me a corner desk that I had been begging for.  I wanted to buy one and he insisted that he could make it.  He did and it is so much better than anything that I could have bought.  I love that he spent the time on it and made such a special thing for me.  As he eases into retirement he has built quite a few things.  My only worry is that he is going to run out of places to put up shelves and place treasure boxes!
