It motivates me to get it all done and seems to take less time to do them.

It is ok to have off days. It is ok to feel that things are going a little slowly, because sometimes life is like that. If you paint a smiley face on a stone... It is still a stone. Maybe write a list on the fridge of easy, simple things to do on slow days. Look at the garden, read a story, put your clothes on backwards. Have a bath in the middle of the day. Just simple stuff to do that might shake things up a bit... Or just get out a game or puzzle that is normally stored out of reach, let the children play and read a book for a bit. You are entitled to a little rest every now and then xxxxxxxx<br />Declutterbug Versus Captain Stingypantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295059910806592085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-52397100894358737342013-02-08T08:31:29.648+08:002013-02-08T08:31:29.648+08:00I started Jan like that too.. mountains of mundane...I started Jan like that too.. mountains of mundane things to do but luckily for us here, Chinese New Year is this weekend so there's lot of excitement in the air :) hope things brighten up soon! there's Vday to look forward to next week! ;p<br /><br />Ai @ <a href="http://www.sakuraharuka.com/" rel="nofollow"> Sakura Haruka </a>Ai Sakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647203995385379898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-825041336979062582013-02-08T08:29:05.589+08:002013-02-08T08:29:05.589+08:00Or have a stain!Or have a stain!Kylie Purtellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185153539010825877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-47373614323844721592013-02-08T08:28:48.378+08:002013-02-08T08:28:48.378+08:00I hope things feel better soon.

I guess it's learning to enjoy the simple things as exciting things? A quiet afternoon at home, a trip to the park or the beach, learning to be peaceful and content in those "boring" times? Don't ask me how though, I've no idea!Aroha @ Colours of Sunsethttp://coloursofsunset.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
