So this morning I started the list. I started with the living room...and moving mentally through each room noticed areas and items of neglect. I made a list of needs and a few wants that would improve our visual space but also the efficiency with which we go through our year. Nothing earth shattering but with a little attention I can plan how to make the changes. I can wait for sales, plan how to use my coupons and economically make the changes.
One example; we are down to two good pot holders. An object that I do not care in the least about but one that is necessary if you want to avoid scorched body parts. You get the idea. I am usually thinking big picture and assign more importance to improving my personal qualities rather that my possessions.
So, now I am more aware..the first step toward taking action. Now where is that coupon section of my Sunday paper?
It's been so long since I've come over and everything has changed! I love your blog look but especially like your picture right up there in the front! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't DARE to go through my house with a pencil and paper..."hmm, I wonder when that vienna sausage was stuffed there? Oh-- look, more torn wall paper, I wonder if those size 6 boxers crammed behind my potted plant are clean or dirty?". Yeah. Good luck with your list and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Imbeingheldhostage, So good to hear from you. Yes, notice I only have one example...pot holders seemed safe. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to do this too, beginning with potholders as well! And stuff! How do we accumulate so much? It's time to do a little decluttering I think.
ReplyDeleteMan oh man if I took a pen and paper and went from room to room compiling a list of areas and items that I have neglected the pen would run dry and I would run out of paper.....LOL.
ReplyDeleteBut I get your point Wendy, pay attention to the little things no matter how trivial they might seem – those are the things that throw us for a loop, and the big things will take care of themselves.
Really great to have you back blogging Wendy, I have certainly missed your wise words.
Heaps of love

What is it with potholders? Where do they go? Things I might include are potholders, nice washcloths, new living room flooring...One thing I recently noticed is something happened to all my baking pans. I have plenty of glass ones but no cookie sheets or jelly roll pans which are good for roasting potatoes and don't let the oil run all over your oven. I am certain I had these things...Where are they?
