I got on a roll this morning as I was looking for a document, I realized that the piles of paper I have in my office were getting out of hand. I grabbed a large trashcan and stated to sort through what I should keep and what should be discarded. I managed to fill up the large can twice and it all headed to the recycle bin.
I found stuff from a 2004 trip: directions and receipts. I found old auto policies from way back. I found house insurance documents from when I first got the house in 1999. I found scraps of paper I had written notes on from years ago, most of them I couldn’t remember writing. I found cards and letters I had gotten through the years. I stopped to read a few. It sure took me down memory lane but with the new year and the new decade, I am ready to start fresh, start clean and be a bit more organized.
I had a lovely morning yesterday: I stopped and pampered myself a bit. I did the extra hair conditioning; I did a pedicure and got the manicure done. I did a facial and an all over body scrub. It sure felt good to take the extra time, time just for me. It made me feel special all day long. I have to remember to make that extra time for myself as the year moves along: an hour or two once a month for just me time.
