Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can ~Arthur Ashe

Today, I started by going through the containers of clothes that I have.  I have three containers of clothes in smaller (but attainable) sizes for when I lose 10 lbs. Any clothes that no longer fit me after I lose ten pounds, I will donate.

I also have a container of knit fabric I can use for G.  The fabric is terrific and will make some great dresses for her.

I put together five big bags of stuff to take to Goodwill.  We also got trash out and recycling ready to take.

I reorganized the gift bags, cleaned and organized G's room, and then collapsed- overwhelmed.  It doesn't look like I did a darn thing. Later, I started Warm Ups for my students on the Mayans.  I also went through ten (EEK- TEN) pages of personal email and cleaned it up.  Now there are only two. Hooray!

G and I made jeweled crowns, colored together, read together, watched a movie together. We snuggled on the sofa.

Why is this important? Because I want to look back and feel like I accomplished SOMETHING. Anything. That I have value.
