Baby Steps

I set a goal for myself on Sunday:

To have an "Intentional Day".

A day without TV, computer or cell phone. 

Unplug and set my intentions on "something".

My goal? 

To make these boxes disappear from the living room:

So what did I do?

I took out the pot I use to boil potatoes.

I replied to a few emails.

I picked up a book and read. 

All day.

Until 4:00

I sprung into action when my adult child stepped into the shower

 and forewarned me it would be a long one.

Aha! A goal at last:

See how much I can do for the time it took to shower.

Step 1 - Peel and boil potatoes; start supper preparations

Step 2 - Empty the living room of the wall-full-of-boxes

Step 3 - Vacuum

Step 4 - Assemble supper

Step 5 - Relax and enjoy the meal

I succeeded in my mission:

Next weekend's goal? 

Find a home for and empty a box.

One box at a time.

Baby steps are better than no steps at all.
