i had an epiphany of sorts the beginning of this year. i walked into our bedroom and saw the pile of my clothes next to the bed and i thought to myself, "really? this is how i want to live?"
it was that moment i decided i was done being a slob. i think it's safe to say that we all have fallen prey to that life now and again. a dish left in the sink overnight, crumbs not being wiped from the counter, bed going unmade (i swear, getting into a made bed beats trying to navigate the mess of sheets and blankets if you don't make the bed). it started to make me realize at the age of 38, i have to grow up and stop being lazy.
i shared this with kev and i have to say, we've both been doing our part (with one or two slip ups here and there). it's felt good. i feel like i'm being present in my life again.
this is the year i stop living lazy.

Good for you. Keep up the good work. A positive attitude and taking care of things will reap big rewards.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking the same thing, but then everything gets so overwhelming, with not much support from the rest of the family living in this house. I hope you will be more successful!
ReplyDeleteNot living crazy must take up a LOT of your time! I vote for letting it all go occasionally and taking some time to write some lovely words our way. :)
ReplyDeleteMiss you!
