Oh, these hot summer days! What are they good for? Being confined inside, day after day, wanting to be productive, but feeling the lure of idleness, I struggle to overcome the gravity of the couch and a good book!
However, today, for some reason, seemed like a good day for getting little projects done. The kind of little things that are too little to write down on a list, because the time it would take to write them down, you could finish them!
Things like...
- take down the birthday banner
- put away the cake plate
- hunt for pencils in the couch (a favorite past time)
- clean out my "office in a bag"
- find a recipe for dinner
- put away folding table and chairs
- find cord to portable fan
- make ice cubes
- sweep off back door mat
- wipe down my laptop
Nothing very glamorous or too difficult. I could leave them undone another day and no one would really notice. Yet, they are little things that, if done, will make the house a nicer place to be, even if just for me. And that makes me rather content.
I love your list. :) It's things like that that can take up a whole day, and then when I'm asked what I've done, I never know what to say. :) But like you said, it helps us be content and happy with some things done, and I like that too.
ReplyDeleteExactly, JoAnn! These are the kinds of things that fill a day, yet when they are done, only I notice. I am learning to be OK with that. Big projects do get noticed and appreciated, so that is good, too!
