I thought with all this time at home, I would feel more accomplished.<\/p>\n
I thought with all this time at home, I would have read a book or two.<\/p>\n
I thought with all this time at home, I would have finished those scrapbooks I’ve been putting off for years.\u00a0 Organized all those pictures I’ve been printing.<\/p>\n
I thought my scrapbook room\/ home office would be a little more organized.<\/p>\n
Anybody else feel like they’re missing something?<\/p>\n
I have had very productive days.\u00a0 I make lists and check them twice.\u00a0 I have cleaned closets and organized the kitchen.<\/p>\n
I have also had days where I can’t commit to anything.\u00a0 I lack focus.\u00a0 Motivation.<\/p>\n
I stare out the window and long for the “old days”.\u00a0 \u00a0Going “out” with friends.\u00a0 Giving family and friends a big hug when you see them or leave.\u00a0 Going shopping on a whim.\u00a0 Browsing the aisles at the store\/ mall.<\/p>\n
I know I’m still working – even if at home, and it does occupy most of my day.<\/p>\n
But still, I thought maybe I would have done MORE.<\/p>\n
So many books to read.\u00a0 Scrapbook albums to fill.\u00a0 Photos to organize.<\/p>\n
Something keeps holding me back.\u00a0 Is it the world events?\u00a0 Is it taking a toll in the back of our minds?\u00a0 We don’t even realize it?<\/p>\n
I wonder.<\/p>\n
I used to think about what it would be like to have more time at home.\u00a0 I always thought I would be a bit more productive.<\/p>\n
So today – to get my mind back in it –\u00a0 I stepped out of my “office” for a few minutes.\u00a0 I threw in a load of laundry.\u00a0 I vacuumed.\u00a0 I showered and “fixed my face”\u00a0 -as my mom used to say.<\/p>\n
And I made myself a list of what I hope to accomplish in this period in time.\u00a0 So it’s not wasted.<\/p>\n
Books I want to read.<\/p>\n
Pictures to organize.<\/p>\n
Calls to family.<\/p>\n
Seeds to plant.<\/p>\n
A new dream board of things to do\/ experience.\u00a0 Hello! new kitchen!\u00a0 I’m going to start visualizing it.<\/p>\n
Maybe now is the time to learn something new.\u00a0 Lambton College is offering free mini courses online.<\/p>\n
