It's working! Today I had a goal - come up with one new thing to do and one thing to do differently. It was tough at first to come up with something new. I had so many ideas at first - most grandiose - not simple - but it turned out that simple was best. "Real Simple".
I picked up my most recent copy of "Real Simple" magazine and came across an article about how to clean my laundry room in 15 minutes. I had to laugh! I never even knew I should clean my laundry room - let alone in fifteen minutes! OK So I decided to give it a whirl. I made a copy of the article and headed downstairs. This is certainly something new.
I began following the directions - so funny. Toss the trash, dust the cobweb, use wipes to clean the shelves and sink... OK. Confession time - I have NEVER done any of this so fifteen minutes is not nearly enough. However, this was such a rewarding project. I ended up cleaning everything, replacing the dryer vent, repainting the top of the appliances, fixing the lighting, vacuuming, dusting, wiping down everything. In the end the laundry room looked great. Truth be told, I always wanted to get that room up to speed and this gave me the opportunity to do that.
So much for something new. Now for something differently. This was more difficult. Today something differently - instead of putting my shoes back in the closet while they were in desperate need of repair - I took them to the shoemaker. I pick them up on Thursday.
One down - ninety-nine to go.
