Things I'm Working On

I loved reading this post, Ali! I just read it and immediately wanted to write my own 'working on' list. Even though we are on other sides of the world, it is great to see that some things are universally being worked on! (And I heard that podcast from Tsh too and I think I'm actually a #1 Reformer too. So interesting!) Have a great day!

I'm slowly working on simplifying things around here. I have been working on layouts/new techniques, and caught up on OLW (I am really getting a lot out of the prompts, thank you). And just relaxing with my kids. This blog post is a great journal prompt. Michelle t

I got my fitbit last week. My goal right now is 7500 steps daily...at some point i will work to 10000. Love that it is making me conscious of the need to move.

Love your list.

I'm working on:

Getting more rest and more exercise...making small progress with each.

Eating better. I am reading every label I can and have elimintated about 80% of High Fructose Corn Syrup. I am also drinking a Yogi tea to aid digestion. Both are good moves so far.

Getting in my pool more often and enjoying it.

Coming to terms with my moms 7 year battle with cancer. She lives with us and is in final stages.

Advocating for my child more...this is always on my list and so worthwhile. Right now trying to find some "good fits" for volunteer work so she can earn the 100 hour requirement for a Bright Futures Scholarship.

Always working on work and on housework...the never ending battle lol.

Working on finding spiritual balance in a household of 5 where each of us has a different way of thinking about religion. This one is a hard challenge. I never thought we'd be veering in different directions.

Working on my OLW project and loving that. Connecting with my word has been a good mix of comfortable and uncomfortable this year, which is what I need.

Working on spending more time with my pets, which has given me so many happy moments that I think I missed out on when I didn't do this as much.

Working on planning some short and very simple summer getaways as mom's health allows this year. I have been walking on the beach several mornings a week - now that's as "mini" as a getaway can get, yet so therapeutic.

Sorry this is so long, I got carried away! Have a great day!

As per your comment on not taking yourself to seriously, this is something I struggle with always. There is a line from a Pink song (I think it is Blow Me (One Last Kiss)), I think I think to much. I always chuckle because it is so me.

"I'm working on not working on so many things." I can relate to that. Who knew that would be so hard? I think I need to just choose one at a time until I get more completed and then be very selective about what else I take on. Loved this post.

I'm working on getting my kitchen counters cleaned off too! must be a universal thing..
working on getting more rest...being a breast cancer survivor and off chemo since March 31st and owner of a new pacemaker since March 5th and working full time...it's tough to LET STUFF GO...and go to bed...ha! it's still there tomorrow AND the next day...
working on getting rid of stuff...boxing up stuff..i am determined NOT to buy any more plastic totes! get rid of stuff and use the ones I have...
working on making time for my scrapbooking...it's important...my grandkids LOVE to look at my PL...
most important, working on being a better, kinder person...

There's way too much happening here to mention ..
but wanted to say that l'm excited that you're excited about your new project. Can't wait to see what it is. I need a real boost at the moment to get those creative juices going again.

Love Anna's hair! Just took the test and scored highest as an Achiever. Looking forward to reading more about it.

Hi!
LOVE your website-always a source of inspiration. QUESTION: I am really curious about the fitbit...which one do you use? Love the idea of being accountable and moving more.
Thanks!

I recently worked on a list of things I wanted to do this summer by looking back at my goals for the year. I'm a list maker by nature, but I'm also trying to NOT make any list "the law" for my life!

I'm now working on pictures, editing, uploading to Shutterfly, putting in albums. I still love the thought of my family being able to pull an album down from the shelf filled with forgotten memories!

I'm also working on some home diy projects. I'm a pretty descant "handy man"(for a girl, lol) but have put off some things I've wanted to do. As well as some things I've left half done!

I'm working on completing some smaller theme albums. I fight not feeling selfish when I scrapbook or create because I do it for myself. It's great my family has the books to look at but it's my lives blood that feeds from these projects. And I would be okay if no other person ever looked at anything I create.

So, here's to fighting the negative voice in my mind! And happy right now to you ;)

I could say "ditto" to your list and it is a comfort to know I am not alone!

This post really inspired me. I feel a bit overwhelmed by everything I feel I need to do and it paralyzes my thinking at times. I used this format on my personal blog and it helped me to realize I am really getting things done!

I'm working in increasing my steps, too. I have the FitBit One and I love it, however, we have a swimming pool and now that I'm swimming more and since the FitBit One isn't waterproof, my activity isn't being tracked and my steps are decreasing. Not even getting in time on the elliptical is getting me close to the 10,000 steps.

Ugh I am working on trying to live in the now, not in "someday".

Interesting on the ennegram, I always like stuff like that, I am a 6, the loyalist. Pretty right on and also some parts of that I don't like. Always a work-in-progress.
I am working on my new house! After being in a state of transition for 4 years, it is a whole new world again having to take care of something new. Also balancing having a big project with the regular stuff of life, work, yoga practice, relationships, scrapbooking, etc.
Excited to see what new business ventures you have going!

I'm working on clearing my desk and boxing up all old year files or outdated in my filing cabinet. Attempting to streamline the scrapbooking supplies. If I don't use it right away it tends to take over and have a life of it's own "clutter". I want to get back on track with documenting PL as the week is happening as opposed to later on because later tends to create piles of stuff!
I recently lost my mother in late May and I'm working through all the emotions that come with such a deep lose. I would like to include a unique tribute to her in my project life album for the week of the funeral and visitation. This is the really hard stuff of life and to help with the raw emotion I am attempting to walk, get outside, feel the sun on my face, and the wind in my hair. I too am attempting 10,000 steps and I need to get my body moving. Nike Fuel band is what I use. The right now is where I am living. My daughter asked when I was crying one day, "if I was okay?" I said, "No, but I will be someday." The stages of grief should be incorporated into our memory keeping. The celebration of ones life is so important for us all to cope and move on in a new normal. If you have any suggestions please share.
I'm looking forward to your new products! I always love everything that you do.

Such a fun twist on the regular ol' Currently or Around Here type of posts!

Where is Anna's duvet from? I LOVE IT!

Working on: cleaning in preparation to leave on a trip for 3 weeks. Does anyone else do nutsy cleaning before leaving?

Reading: NOT reading any more books on what I need to change, improve upon, or how dystfunctional my marriage is. Fun Reading is the goal for the summer.... starting with Kate MOrton's The House at Riverton (love, love, love her books)

Trying to pick up my needlework again. Unfinished projects need to get done.

Learning to BE who I am and where I am in life right now. (This is not as easy as it sounds).

Those of you interested in the enneagram might want to google Leigh Kramer and check out her blog.
