I'm Looking Around

I did it, I started my "To Do" list for the New Year. I have a compulsion in January to look around my home and really SEE what is before me. Most of the year I am busy with the routine and fail to see little pockets of "stuff" that need my attention. When did that little object get placed there... and why have I not noticed it. Wow! That room is looking bad...what does it need? We could use another .....

So this morning I started the list. I started with the living room...and moving mentally through each room noticed areas and items of neglect. I made a list of needs and a few wants that would improve our visual space but also the efficiency with which we go through our year. Nothing earth shattering but with a little attention I can plan how to make the changes. I can wait for sales, plan how to use my coupons and economically make the changes.

One example; we are down to two good pot holders. An object that I do not care in the least about but one that is necessary if you want to avoid scorched body parts. You get the idea. I am usually thinking big picture and assign more importance to improving my personal qualities rather that my possessions.

So, now I am more aware..the first step toward taking action. Now where is that coupon section of my Sunday paper?
