I just uploaded my before and after pictures from "starting where I am at" which happened to be my living room. I wrote that Dec. 29 and now it is Jan 23 and I am finally completing it (not the cleaning but the posting). I decided that it is not so much about the time frame but that I get back on track. No guilt just getting back on the road to where I want to be. So where do I want to be? I want to be more focused and get some of my house finished so it is a beautiful, delightful place to be. I want to write more. I have so many stories in my head. I write in my head constantly and I would like some of that material to make it to this blog. I have been thinking about writing a blog about my wonderful class of special needs young adults. I worry about privacy issues and think maybe it would make a better book some day? Maybe a blog but with no names and pictures that don't reveal faces? Dream....think....wonder! I will try to write one this week with that technique and then run it by a few people. I like that, I will be making progress and at least trying something. Today I have been stopped short in my tracks. I think I pinched a nerve in my shoulder driving home from Grand Rapids in and out of several blizzards. I was up during the night, trying the old heating pad and unsuccessfully trying to find a comfortable position in which to sleep. I had to cancel my Sunday activies and I am sitting on the couch with motrin and the good old heating pad.
I have several things I can do with this change of events. I can write bills and balance out the month of January. I can internet shop for a clawfoot tub shower curtian. I can order my up and down blinds for my living room. I can work on my book club lesson plans for school.
Heres to "Getting back on Track" even if it is from the couch!
