Have I actually accomplished anything?

I haven't posted since February, 4th, and just asked myself: what in the heck have I done since then? More than not, I feel like I do not get anything substantial done. I always feel like I take one step forward, and then 2 or 3 back. I am constantly doing the same things every day, like keeping this house clean. Then when I think, I need to tackle a real project, there never seems to be any more time. The upkeep , of this house :life, seems to just suck all the hours away. I just said, the other day, how I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day. I have a list of things I need to do, and just when I get a few ticked off, I add 2 more. It is just never ending.

I keep hoping that maybe someday I will have the time, I am needing, to do some of the things I really want to do! I have to remember what Gretchen Rubin says, " I can do anything, I just can't do everything!"  I know there will come a time, when the grueling daily tasks, will not be the focus of my life.... hope I can wait until then!

If you could do anything right at this moment what would it be?

Its 3:30 Pm,, the kids are slowly trickling in from school. One is out building a snow man, one has his dress clothes on and is leaving for hockey.. One is not home yet. And Me. I actually had a moment of peace and thought what would I do right now?  Well I would get on my walking shoes, and a light coat and go for a walk with my best friend. That is what I would like to do at this moment. It is super nice out and the snow is melting and its warm , and I would love to walk and talk! It is just that kind of day! 

Blessed are we to have friends that fill our souls!

Can we make ourselves Happier?

I am just about finished a book called , "The Happiness Project, " written by Gretchen Rubin. It is all about just that, can you make yourself happier, with the life you have. She starts in January and for each month, makes a few goals for each month. They can be as simple as, dont nag, or maybe start a collection. I can not even explain the book, but it just might be the best book I have read, in a very a long time.

I feel like for once, there is someone out there, that gets it. The ever evolving woman and what to do with her. It has made me think about many things, and I am wanting to do as she did, and start my own Happiness Project. Actually, I will be doing it with, my best friend, another non -stop evolving woman,  who I love very much. I know we are going to have fun creating our lists and seeing the progress along the way.

2011, I feel is all about me getting back to basics, and capturing the happiness I know is out there, and bringing it back into my life for good!

Lets get started!!!!
