Time flies

Here are some before pictures of our projects.
It has been a busy past few months, but I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated my blog! Goodness, where does my time go? I'm still searching ways to transform and improve my life, and one of them needs to be time management.

We've accomplished quite bit on the home front so far this year. We removed wall paper and painted four rooms of our house, and hired painters to do two additional rooms. We had tile flooring installed, added a new dishwasher and deck furniture, and had the front yard landscaped. We re-did our office and made it into a multi-functional office/craft room/sitting room. My DH sealed the deck and pool deck. It has been a busy time, but I feel really good about how our place looks and all that has been accomplished. I will post after pictures in a few days.

Still on the list, but not in the immediate future, are painting the rest of the house, painting the outside trim, having two dead trees removed, having a new roof installed within the next two years, and cleaning and reorganizing the garage. These will have to wait as I am spending the next six months concentrating on improving my health and creating art. There must be balance. Among the things I have learned about myself lately is that I can only really focus on one thing at a time, and do justice to it. I am also reconciling myself to working within my energy levels. That is a biggie for me.

Our TIPS group meets this Saturday, and I want to be completely honest with myself and the group and set some new goals. It is time for reckoning on the ones I've let slide. My biggest obstacle on accomplishing my dreams is my limitations due to my being overweight. So in order to move on, to get over this hump, to transform and reinvent my life, I have to face this head on, and do something about it. It really is now or never. There is so much I want to do, and I am not going to let this one thing hold me back from the life I can and should have, for myself and for others. It's all there, just waiting for me to take action. I want to encourage all of my Transformation in Progress Sisters to examine what is blocking them from realizing their goals. Face it, and make a plan of action to climb that mountain and get on the other side, the side where your dreams can become reality, and you can soar!
