As you know (or don't know) one of my New Year's Resolutions was to spend 25 minutes each day clearing out.
I gave my self wiggle room. If I couldn't do 25 minutes that was okay.
The purpose of the goal was to spend some time each and every day clearing out. The each and every day mattered more than the time spent doing it. I simply cleared out each and every day.
If we do something each and every day it becames a habit.
The doing it matters more than the time spent doing it.
So here I am 48 days of clearing something out.
It feels great.
Yes! Due to snowstorms, free hours spent shoveling and life, there are bags and boxes in my garage to be taken to various places. I am just blessing my garage as a holding place.
I love my empty spaces. I love the letting go.
Yet what I am learning most is what I already knew.
Everything happens a lttle bit at a time.
Do that little bit today!
It is all about baby steps.
Many blessings,
Virginia.

Baby Steps
Take the step !
You might fall.
You might look silly.
People might say mean things.
You will be afraid.
You might want to vomit.
Take the step anyways with as much conviction as a baby learning to walk.
You got this!

Baby Steps
I love making to do lists. I make them every week and then break them down into daily to do lists. It is a wonderful tool that makes me feel like I have life under control.
There is just one small problem with my wonderful to do lists.
I don't always complete them.
Just for kicks I looked back into my notebook of to do lists from early spring. Two items on that list are on this weeks list, four months later.
CLEAN GARAGE
CLEAN BASEMENT
I had a good chuckle at myself. Then I reverted to what I know is truth. There will never be an entire day that I can devote to these two tasks. I can however devote little bits of time to these monstrous chores and eventually they will be completed. I changed my list and for as long as it takes, my to do list will read:
10 MINUTES CLEANING THE GARAGE
10 MINUTES CLEANING OUT THE BASEMENT
Baby steps always get the job done.
The timer is set. Off to the basement I go.
