PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER
Like most homes mine is a work in progress - one endless project after the other. There really is not that much left to do! I've found a wonderful electrician and a contractor to add to the wonderful plumber. It's like the trifecta of home maintenance! There are three big projects left to complete: removal of four decorative columns that disrupt the flow of the first floor, installation of solid wood doors on the main floor and finish painting the hallway and stairwell on the second and third floors. Luckily these projects have all been relayed to my contractor and we're all set for things to be completed in April!
The assignment: make a list of three things that you can do to start putting your house in order. Make a plan and take some action steps towards this goal.
I admit, I get more than a bit jittery when I am surrounded with paper clutter. And I am the worst culprit! I thrive in a visually calm space.
1. Purge all piles - file or recycle. Locate all tax documents.
2. Clean out the linen closet. Organize by sheet size and make the space functional.
3. Go through the (overstuffed) main floor and have the kids decide what they want to have for themselves. Make a list, and if possible, move whatever it is they like to their rooms or pack away. Just clear out the visual clutter.
These have been on the "big list" for a while, but it's time to make them a priority. Let the Spring Clean begin!

Like Bree Hester, I believe you choose to be happy. Sure there are bad (out of your control) things that happen, but how you handle them is completely up to you. Your choices are your responsibility - there is no blame, no shame, no nothing but accountability. Your attitude is your decision. I choose to be happy. Happy within the context of not wearing the proverbial rose-coloured glasses or any expectation that those who populate my life have made the same choice :) Last October, Bree put together 31 DAYS TO A HAPPIER YOU and, armed with her PDF, I'm using March - that dreary time between winter and spring that seems to drag on forever - to make the conscious choice to be happy every day this month!
