Sure there were things that happened last year that I am so thankful for. I am not saying it was all bad. I just hope this year is better health wise, financially, and in other ways as well.
I think this year I will focus on one the one word challenge by SNAP. Don't know what it is? Check it out here. So, my word is.....
Unclutter
I want to unclutter my life...my thoughts, my surroundings, my life. There is just too much clutter around to cause stress, slow progress, and just get in the way. I need to unclutter.
I am tired of the 'drama' of others. I don't like drama and when I do need some, I will read a book or watch the soaps on TV. I am done being the one stressed out over problems others have/made for themselves and suddenly I am the one feeling bad or running to the rescue. No more! Now there is ObamaCare so there is no excuse, see a therapist!
I am tired of living in a tiny house (our house is not even 900 sq. ft.) yet surrounded by furniture and stuff that is designed to fill a mansion. I don't collect anything (but money) and yet having to hang on to all these 'things' that aren't even mine. Done! It is all going out. I am done walking in a maze to bring my laundry to the machine and not being able to fine my winter clothes as I freeze because there is a hope chest in the way. I am done. It is all getting thrown out or given away.
I also am tired of having things in my way so I need to find a spot for everything and put everything in its spot. I am sure you know what it is like when you're making a card or a scrap page and you can't find room to even put your paper down on the desk (even though mine is 6 ft. long and I still have no room). That needs to end too. I want to do my crafts and not spend two hours trying to make room and dig out my dies and all. No need for it when I could have spent them two hours scrapping.
I need to unclutter my thoughts as well. I have so many things running through my head and worrying about what if I don't do this or what if I don't do that, then what will this person do or that person do? I understand a mom is a mom for life, even when her kids are adults but I did all I can do and I can't do no more. It is now my time. I raised my family, time for you to raise yours and let me be grandma. I do not mean I don't want you to be part of my life because I certainly do, just not my whole life. I need to do things I want to do.
Are you going to take the challenge? What is your word?
such a good word! my word is focus which is a little different but also similar at the same time.
ReplyDeletegreat word!
DeleteSue, not planning on taking the challenge but it was great seeing yours, best wishes always...
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to have you pop by. If I had to pick one for you I think it would be 'relax' (if you know how). I hope all goes well.
DeleteOVERCOME .... I should also think about using the unclutter... my studio looks like a tornado hit it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, worse part about it is you clean your studio and it is all clean but then you walk into the living room or kitchen and can't move!
DeleteUnclutter is a great choice! I'm going to add it to my list of future possibilities. Good luck! My 2015 is relax.

That is a great word. I think I may need to use that one in 2016. Once I get done with all I need to do, I will need to relax.
ReplyDeleteI was just walking through my garage and thinking ugh.. this place is way to cluttered. Thanks for the good read!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found some inspiration in my cluttered mess. I will be posting a update very soon.
