A Re-Commitment...

...to several things, actually.  A re-commitment to this blog; to my house projects To-Do list; and to myself.

I really do want to post more regularily on this blog, as a sort of family journal, a record of our days and weeks and what we do.  I think of blog posts occasionally but never get around to creating them until they are a month old.  I really, really, REALLY will start to try harder, to commit to weekly posts at first so as not to overwhelm myself.  I think I can do that.

I have a clipboard around here with a list that I just let loose on once, emptying all those thoughts and possible projects and plans out of my head once and for all.  I made that list in June 2010 and I have not checked off very many things yet.  Many of them are still quite relevant, things that still need to be done in my home to get it to a point where I am truly satisfied.  I have started a few of these items recently and I am going to commit to getting those things done before I dive into more painting, arranging, organizing and purging.  All in good time....

And finally, a re-commitment to myself.  I have been neglecting certain aspect of myself lately - exercise and creativity to name just the first two that pop into my head.  My intellect, my curiosity, my spirituality, my nutrition, and the list goes on.  I am going to get back to focusing on some of these things that need to have a more prominent place in my life.  I will be happier if I can get some of these things back and I think my household will be happier too.

So that is it, my plans for the next few months or so.  If you happen to read this post, please ask my how I am doing on organizing my laundry room or if I've cleared off my craft/painting table yet so I can get back to watercolour painting.  I'd appreciate your checking up on me and holding me accountable!
