Reducing chaos

Or at least that’s what I’m trying to do.

I’m standing in the middle of my basement, which has all kinds of bits and pieces from all kinds of things lying all around.

I had planned to do a really deep clean of this basement over the fall. I was going to get rid of all kinds of things that we don’t use anymore and get them to homes who can use them and here it is the end of November and I am too tired to do this project.

So rather than taking on the huge thing. And rather than doing nothing at all, I’m going to reduce the chaos.

And in this case it means moving stuff around to different shelves so things fit better into the space and so things are near like things that way after the new year I’ll be able to work one shelf at a time and get stuff organized.

I’m really hoping that this process helps me to move forward and to work on things. One piece at a time.

Let’s see how it goes.

Time for tea

I was really tempted just to go to bed out of it after TKD tonight but I have talked myself into reading and having some tea.

If I was just super tired, going to bed would make sense but I’m not that kind of tired, I’m something else.

What that is, I don’t know, but choosing an enjoyable and relaxing activity is definitely the way to soothe whatever is going on for me.

An artsy little reminder

It’s ok not to be ok but it’s also possible that you are more ok than you realize.
