A beginning

Due to still being sick, I haven’t been able to begin today as I would have liked.    However, there has been some small progress.

As I wondered around the house tidying, I found myself being grateful for things laying around the house so that I had the opportunity to put them away.  At times I can get annoyed at continually having to tidy up and having to clean up after others.  But today, I was grateful.  These things give me the opportunity to begin to change my story.  In the case, to one of the joy of taking care of my home, of making it a continual journey of cleansing and activity.  Things laying around mean activity and the pleasure of keeping it keeping it neat and tidy.  Of gratitude for my home and the beautiful renovations that we have done.  Activity and the peacefulness I am looking to find within that.

And I have been doing my best to keep eating cut up fruit and vegetables.  It has been intermittent.  Yet, as I write this, I feel inspired to continue to do so even more. 

I also feel inspired to find one of those non-regular household chores and do that.  Just a little one, but one that I often see and mean to do but don’t get around to it.  I’m off to do it now.

Writing today’s post has been a blessing and a motivation.  I am grateful.

Great post, Annie. I began looking at housework as exercise. The more I cleaned, tidied, etc., the more exercise points I got. Weight Watchers even let me count the time I spend cleaning toward exercise! Bonus! I do so love your posts and your journey. You give me courage to continue my own.

Hugs, Rebecca

HI Rebecca, I've done that with WW as well. It is lovely to know that my own journey helps with yours and vice versa. Isn't the internet great?!
