Ok, so we are really busy right now, and the first thing to go is usually any time to myself (ie time to blog, read personal email, or create or make anything)
And I was standing in my ubermessy bedroom on Friday morning, with its beautiful new carpet, and my gorgeous new-to-me-sewing/craft/computer desk ($40 at the Goodwill and its huge and solid oak!)( thank you God!) and I looked around at all of the boxes that I still have to unpack and find places for the junk that is in them, beating myself up for not having them taken care of and I thought, it's ok. I can leave them there for a little while longer. I am not going to beat myself up over them still being here. I was busy taking care of the really important things this week... helping out my baby sister, making what might be a once in a lifetime trip for our Chinese exchange student pleasant and hosting impromptu teenage guy get togethers. (I need to keep waaaaay more frozen pizza in the house) So while those things aren't tangible, they are real. They require creativity and patience and a joyful attitude.
And today I have time to do something, so I am blogging, and I will sew something from the stash of projects that I want to make on my beautiful new crafting desk. I'm also going to go get my nails done, just for fun:) and I will get one box, just one, put away, tidied up, and taken care of.
I hope that you have a great day too!
