Lundie's Life

I’ve been sucked into watching Hoarders on TV lately. As I was putting away dishes this evening, I thought about the changes I’ve been making to my health. (I vlog about it on my SparkPage). While I want to make all these good changes all at once, it’s just not realistic.

I don’t know if you’ve watched Hoarders, but one of the things they do is bring in a counselor and a home organizer. One to hand-hold through the emotional discussion, the other to orchestrate the beginnings of the clean-out. I have been really impressed by two things: 1) the home organizer insists that the hoarder is the one to make the final decision about whether to throw, give, or keep the items in question, and 2) a clean sweep of the house almost never “fixes” the hoarder.

So, as much as diet plans and quick fixes have the allure of being rescued from what ails me, when it comes down to it, if I’m not the one making the changes, then they’re not gonna stick.

Here’s to slow and steady changes that last….

Yesterday was one of those “too busy living life to write about it” days, so NaBloPoMo took a hit. Yay! See ya later for today’s BIG post…

Today was a BEAUTIFUL DAY!! The weather was close to perfect in my book!

Today, we reunited with an old friend, and made two new ones. It was a big day in my book. Something as simple as a snack and a chat closed the gap on a lot of years.

We also opened a new chapter of our lives as the in-laws settle into a new home. Watching J5 explore and declare his appreciation and approval kicked off the new era of going to “154″*!

As I contemplate this theme: “Big”, I realize I don’t really care for the word that much. I think I’m going with the idea of noting “the big stuff” that happens in my day. But often, the “big” stuff is really “little” stuff that I just really want to identify as significant.

I’ve managed to get TWO WHOLE DAYS posted…only 28 to go! Cheers!

*For those who don’t know J5 – he often identifies locations by their “numbers”, rather than by their purpose…
