I feel much better. That "small steps" thing really works. I tackled a bunch of stuff and made far more headway then I imagined possible. I used to stand or step over the mess in my place, shaking my head the whole time while saying out loud to myself: "This is effen impossible!" However, this time I just started putting things back in their place. I had forgotten that everything does have a place, even in my apartment, which up until this evening I had referred to as "The Pit of …
The Amazing Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl: Backsliding & Baby-steps.

Half Full.
I was just thinking about the past year and feeling groovy. Sometimes I forget how blessed I really am. I have got to stop wishing I was more... better... thinner... farther along in my career - and start being grateful for what I have, who I know, and for the love I receive every day.
