Ah, September!
Traditionally, this has been the time that I am at my best. My life and I shine with hope and promise. I clean the house, join up to various committees and activities, give thought to making changes in my eating habits and increasing my physical activity. I re-start personal quests (like blogs for instance!) that I left behind in my eagerness for spring sunshine and summer busy-ness. I begin writing again, crafting/creating, baking/cooking. I look at my home with a critical eye to determine what most needs doing on that front. I come up with ideas and I make plans. A lot of plans. At some point, Hub needs to come on board for some of these plans. That's about usually when the whole system grinds to a painful halt. Hub is not usually especially responsive to anything that involves spending money. He needs a little coaxing in that area. However, there is always so much that needs doing and so much I would like to have done that I don't know where to start or which project to push with Hub. Its about at this point that I start feeling overwhelmed. And tired. And begin to lose hope that my home or my life will ever be where and what I would like it to be. I add myself onto that heaping, whimpering pile as well.
Wow. Any wonder that I now experience this time of year with dread. I wonder what changes I can make in my thought process or actions that can stop this annual monster in its tracks? Or at least, redirect it somehow! ?
I think I need a clean sheet of paper and a sharp pencil ...




I admit. I'm trying to get something ... anything on to this site today. My playroom has lay dormant for some time now. If I do go in, its just to get my new Christmas toy and then go and sit comfy-cozy on the couch while I explore. Can you guess what new toy Paul got me for Christmas? That's right, a shiny new laptop! Needless to say, I've been tickling the keyboard a little more often than usual. I'm assuming that this is just a novelty and will wear off quick enough. To be honest, I think I'm on the home stretch now.
