Tiny steps to tidiness.

 

My house is in a state of disorder that at moments can be overwhelming.  My new thought on getting control of this disorder is to take tiny steps to tidiness.  

Each day I focus on cleaning and organizing things in a small way.  Each day I get rid of a few things in the most cluttered room.

Hopefully by the end of 2025 I will have a more organized house.  Free of clutter.

My word clouds for the last two weeks.

Here are my word clouds for the last two weeks.

I like the puzzle piece shape.

Do you think of the words that make up your week?

The goal I failed at, coloring a whole adult coloring book.

 One of my goals last year was to color a whole coloring book. I failed. I think one of the books has three completed pages.  The others have some completed pages, but I did not finish any of them. I’m going to bring them to work and see if any of my coworkers would like them.  I have realized that I don’t have time to color these coloring books.  Maybe it’s just not what I like to do when I am home and want to relax.

In my goal of decluttering these books are something that are going away.

I did get a monthly planner that has coloring pages, so I will use that when I feel like coloring. 

Do you have any goals from last year that you didn’t complete?

The peacock, my pick of the day.

Today I picked the peacock. 

I like that it talks about inner and outer beauty.

The Oracle pick for today… the stork

The stork was my bird pick for the day.

Find ways to awaken your inner artist. 

Well I ordered a monthly calendar that is a coloring book.

But that is so I will get rid of all my coloring books. 

I know that doesn’t make sense does it.

My inner photographer is hoping for a warm day 

So I can go birding.

These birds are from my backyard.

My daily Oracle card.. the vulture

My love for birds has brought me to this fun adventure of picking a daily Oracle card that is bird themed.

Yesterday I chose the vulture.

I liked the part that says consider your future and what needs to be picked clean. I have a lot of cleaning to do. 

What card will I pick today?

Step by step I am working towards new goals.

Here is my word cloud for last week.

This is one of my bird visitors at my bird feeder. 

A downy woodpecker.

A coworker got me this cute cat book for Christmas.

This sums up last week’s temperature. Cold 🥶.

My daughter and I had a girls day on Saturday to celebrate her birthday.  We went to ikea to look for new furniture.

I like seeing all the room ideas.

We went to the pancake house for her birthday breakfast.

I am getting my office at work organized.

Not doing a great job organizing at home. Hopefully this weekend I will do better.

My word for 2025 “Complete”.

Do you choose a word for your year?

Last year my word was “Journey”.

I went on quite a few journeys. 

This year my word is “Complete”. 

I want to complete a bunch of projects that 

I have been working on.

I like word clouds. 

All the words in this one go with things I 

Did last week.  I’m making one for all the birds I

Saw last year while bird watching.

I saw about 110 different birds.

What is your word?

What I learned from going to an antique shop.

On our last date of the new year we went to an antique shop.

I took a photo of this because it reminded me of a Seinfeld show.

This sums up my Christmas.  Watching the nutcracker.

I learned a good lesson at the antique shop. 

You may think you should keep something because it might 

Be worth something later. Don’t do it. 

If you aren’t using something get rid of it.

Donate it, gift it to someone else.

Don’t keep it.

Antique shops are filled with things people collected.

I saw lots of things I have collected. Nothing was priced very high.  Most was priced lower than what I paid.

So this year as I continue to clean out I’m 

Not going to feel bad that I might have made money on 

Something, and I’m going to feel good that my life is less cluttered.

Our last date of 2024

 

We went on our last day date of 2024.

It was raining so we went to the museum of natural history.

We went to the Orca exhibit.

I’m wearing the hat my mother in law made me.

They had a Nutcracker. I guess 

There was a treasure hunt connected with it. 

Maybe I will look into this next year.

I took a different little bird. 

Some Native American art work.

It was a nice way to end our dating year.
