January Cure #5- Pick a Project


I'm a bit behind on my January Cure, but I'm still chugging away at the assignments. For assignment #5, Pick a Project, I thought long and hard about which project I can reasonably tackle this month and actually get done. The space I most want to deal with is my craft room, but I know realistically that it's the biggest project on my list and that I'll never get everything organized as I'd like.

See this great big window and awesome view we have out to the park? It's great and I love looking out the window onto the park, but this window is just calling out for some curtains to get hung up! I have the curtains and the rod, but it hasn't translated into the curtains actually getting put up.

The reason I picked this project is that not having these silly curtains up has actually been stopping us from having an event we want to have at our place, a Sunday morning brunch and cartoon-watching party. Although it isn't as bright out in the winter, not having curtains can sort of hinder a marathon of TV-watching!

So, my project for this month will be to get out the the power drill and get these curtains up on the window! It's a little thing, but it will make a big difference to our living room space. Wish me luck!

Some days the beauty of the morning gets drowned out by the very loud voices of the day. I'm glad I went tonight, but not sure how much I'll get out of being a part of this group yet.

Someone commented today that they noticed a huge change in me after not seeing me for a month. It's nice to feel that some of your efforts at self care and mindfulness might be starting to work.

Times I feel old: when the excitement of my evening involves reorganizing the fridge to be more functional and hanging out on the couch is the high point of my day.

A day of baking and enjoying the slightly warmer weather and the realization that it's possible to enjoy someone else's company even when coming to agreements about your shared space often isn't the easiest thing.

It's the small things that can brighten up your day. I'm a sucker for a cute dog statue and I know this one will bring me a smile each and every day.

After a long and exhausting week, I'm glad that' it's the weekend and that I can spend some time to appreciate the tiny corners of my world that make me happy.

Its funny how literally changing your perspective can make even the most mundane of tasks a little more interesting. I need to find more ways to shift my day to day in new ways.
