I’m back
Many things have happened since my last entry. The most important thing is that I turned thirty! I went to Amsterdam for the occasion. I went alone, but I had a terrific time. I met a lot of people. It was great. I’ve never traveled alone to anywhere that I didn’t already know someone. I’m not an outgoing person by nature, but I was able to jump away from that. I reached down and grabbed what has always been lurking inside of me. When I returned home, I wasn’t the same person. I don’t know that I am super outgoing now, but in Amsterdam I was able to do a lot of thinking and reflecting.
I’ve re-prioritized myself. I’ve realized that instead of changing my life bite by bite, I’m trying to put the entire buffet on one plate. That’s not going to work. I was watching a Suze Orman lecture on television last night. She made a good point about cleanliness. I think that is going to be my main focus. I can worry about the other things later. My home is cluttered and in disarray, as is everything else in my life. I think once my home is clean and organized, everything else will come together much easier.
My bathroom is still clean. My kitchen is now clean, too. I’ ve taken pictures. I will add them when I can.
A friend of mine is coming in from out of town. I haven’t had the time to clean the entire apartment, but the two other main areas, living room and kitchen, are on their way to looking better. My problem right now is that I want to sort everything. I should focus on getting organized, and then dig a little at a time. This way, I won’t be so overwhelmed.
My friend will be here on Thursday. After her visit, I hope to re-group and get focused again.
