messy monday

Today is the day...As part of my Happiness Project, every day of the week I'm going to do something different that, I feel, will build my creative energy, peace of mind and skills in general ;]  I have big ideas, like ALL the time, that keep me up at night, turn me ADD and make me anxious!  I have kind of suppressed the urge, for the last 5-ish years, to even try any of my ideas.  Just didn't have the time or the energy, but I do now!

My idea is to have messy monday, tasty tuesday, whimsy wednesday, thoughtful thursday, fashion friday, spontaneous saturday and scripture sunday.  We'll see how it all goes down, I may not post everyday because I'm slightly flighty and a little free spirited...but that's ok :]

MESSY MONDAY: (pick a mess, clean it up and rejoice in your efforts!)

I have had a pile of "stuff" in the corner of my bedroom forever!  My daughter said the other day "Mom, I don't think I've seen the carpet in that corner since we moved here?"  We moved into this house 8 years ago.  This pile has not actually been there for 8 years, but it does seem like something has always been stored in this particular area?!   And then last night, the same daughter, says to me "Mom, I think you might be a hoarder?"  I responded "You are probably right."  It was at that point I was grateful that I had a plan to blow through and get rid of it!  It's true, I hate to throw away something that can be used but I do not believe I am quite to "hoarder" status yet and I plan to never get there ;]

BEFORE
the corner the carpet could not be seen!

AFTER
yep...I still have carpet

I still have some things that I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them?  However, they are all organized in a storage box and ready to be moved into the storage room (which is already organized and has plenty of space!).  I will now rejoice in my efforts and drink the rest of my diet coke while I gaze at my carpet ;]

Peace Out!
