I can’t believe that we’re in the last week of January. Last week we had a tiny bit of snow on the ground and several days of freezing temperatures, but today brought about full sunshine, blue skies and temps warm enough to actually have the doors and windows open. It was blissful.
Despite the beautiful weather, it’s been one of those ‘off’ days. It’s a true Monday if there is such a thing, and I’ve done my best to be kind to me. It’s the only thing we can really do when things seem to be out of whack. We can’t control those things, but we can control how we respond to them.
This evening- I have spent some time adding to my ‘to do’ list of things I need to accomplish in the next day or so. Now that we’ve finally finished painting, I’m slowly taking the time to purge things that I no longer use and we’ve give quite a few things away. We’ve also realized that we’d like to paint the doors and all the trim work- but since we’ve needed to leave the doors open to let the house air out- we’ll wait until later in the year when the weather is warmer and daylight hours are longer.
Tomorrow afternoon I’ll spend making 48 cupcake toppers for an upcoming order. I’m looking forward to it. Once I’m done- and get the other items checked off my to-do list- I’ll curl up with Big Magic and finish reading it- I can’t wait.
