For instance, for years I've been trying to fold and arrange my husband's collection of tee shirts to fit in the top drawer of our dresser. Yesterday, I had the revelation that the drawer I use just below it was taller, hence roomier. And further revelation that I don't keep very much in that drawer. So I swapped them out. Now to see when Tom realizes the switch (he's away on yet another summer business trip.)
I've been letting my summer vacation get the best of me, and since I felt a boost was in order I resubscribed to FlyLady. For any who are familiar with our quest, it all began with both of us having our homes transformed through the directions FlyLady sent us.. oh! so long ago.
She reminded me why it was important to get up early. Why it was important to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Why to put my lace-up shoes on each morning. Why I need my routines! By "taking a vacation" from those little routines our house was being neglected. Not only that, but many of the things I enjoy doing (even those I don't enjoy but need to do) were being neglected as well.
So, once again, I'm following FlyLady's advice, taking little steps, and rediscovering the freedom that really does come from being diligent in the little things each and every day.
BTW, FlyLady had come a long way after all this time. I'm glad to see that she is still around to help people like us who are more creative at making excuses than just doing the work.
Check her out if you need a boost.
One more little thing ... our book. It needs to get back on track, and hopefully you all will help us get it marketed once it goes to "print." Any suggestions about the best venue (self-publishing, Kindle, print/mail out) would be well received.
My your own "little ways" keep you and your family moving toward sanctity!
Your Sister in the Trinity,
Yvonne
