I wish I took the time to post more to this blog. Some people start blogs in order to stay in touch with family and friends. I originally started it as an easy way to record my thoughts and to possibly scrapbook those musings at a later date. I have always kept a diary, so this seemed like the next step.
We made it through the holidays in one piece. The kids had a great time. After each holiday season, I go through the house organizing and decluttering. I think this arises from the need to find a place for all of the new stuff we all got for Christmas. I'm doing pretty well this year. I recently purchased Peter Walsh's book It's All Too Much and it is changing the way that I think about our material possessions. I remember reading on one message board about one lady who cleared her house of anything that she didn't love and basically started from scatch. As a result, she now uses and loves everything she owns. She also has a lot less clutter. I want to be like that. I want all of the extra baggage--physical and mental--to just vanish!
I've set forth several goals for myself this new year. One of them is to take a walk every day. Today is January 3. I've taken 1 walk. I don't feel guilty about not taking walks on days where the temp doesn't get above freezing!
