Identifying the problem is the first step, right?
I've shared over and over my Dad's philosophy of "if one is good; two's better." My Mom taught me to buy that extra pair of shoes when I found one I really liked. My grandmother saved everything AND she was a collector (I'm changing that word to "hoarder").
Career Girl and I have been going through my Mom's house. It is daunting. At first you want to save everything (it's in my DNA-- that's my story and I'm sticking to it). Then you want to throw or give everything away (but you secretly keep it-- I've found my mom's secret stash of my grandmother's stuff who had a secret stash of her parents and grandparents and great- grandparents.....).
I don't know when I became a "depression baby" but I've got it bad, man!
Sale? Stock up.
Remember Y2K? Make sure you have gas/ food/ money/ in case the computers crash and you are left in dire straights.
Save those Whipped Cream containers, turn the front hallway closet into a second pantry with peanut butter and toilet paper from the warehouse box store!
Create a blog. (it's good)
Create another blog. (it's even better)
Create a third blog (okay, now you've just got a problem!)
and don't write on any of them because you have overwhelmed yourself.
So here I am, Grainiacs. Ready to change.
The first part is identifying the problem: I am a hoarder whether it is stuff, head stuff, blogs, dogs, cats, crafts, shoes, vitamins! yes, you read right. I'm looking at a buttload of vitamins on my kitchen counter.
The second part is gaining strength to solve the problem. (Dang, I'm tired after writing this down)
This pertains to weight, to hoarding, to procrastination.
It is said "the first step is always the hardest."
My first step is a healthy glass of smoothie- I need the energy. I just tired myself out.

I've made that first step. See you tomorrow! I'm back to blogging.
