Stop and Smell

Fall is in the air and zoom zoom....it is whooshing by!  Do all my posts begin this way?  Is it just me?  I can't believe how fast life is moving.  One day my obit will say: she never cleaned the house and never lost the weight!  But hopefully it will say: she enjoyed life, family, and friends.  My priorities are in the right place, but I really want to clean the house and lose some weight.

Today I will tackle the family room.  Oh, have I mentioned- I cleaned up and de-cluttered the dining room and formal living room and they are STILL clean and de-cluttered!!!  Whoo hoo.  Of course I've closed the doors and haven't let any animals in there, but hey, come on over and we can sit in a clean/ de-cluttered room.  Have I mentioned "clean" AND "de-cluttered?"  Okay, I'll stop. But this is huge for me....like keeping off 15 pounds for over a year.

I would like to share with you my newest passion: water coloring.  It is not perfect (like me), but it is whimsical and colorful (very much like me!).  I now enjoy coloring outside the lines.  As a child, I was encouraged to color within the lines.  The teacher would even tell us what color went where.  Bring out the watercolors and start a journal. Buy a children's easel and sing and paint.  Do what you love and do it often...unless it is eating ice cream; and then do that in moderation!

Happy Tuesday, Grainiacs.
