My husband’s definition of “happy,” is ‘busy.’ And, if he’s correct, I’m euphoric!!!!
I’m doing better at tackling things doggedly, doing what I consider the most important things for the day first, trying not to feel stressed. I have this quote by Brian Tracy on the side of my file cabinet in the office. I’m looking at it as I type – “When you feel overwhelmed with too much to do and too little time (or energy – my addition), remind yourself that all you can do is all you can do.”
Yesterday my plans were snafued. My husband wanted to try installing the light switch in our office again because the three fluorescent light fixtures were still acting wonky. We spent a lot of time on that. We THOUGHT it was fixed this time, but it’s still wonky. I suspect that mice are chewing on our wires inside the walls. They did that to our phone wires. We went to a cell phone base instead to go around that problem. We have changed out the ballast transformers in the fixtures AND the switch now. This problem is either mice – or gremlins…
Today I will try to honor my need to stable mental health and get up to play in my art room – at least for a little while. I would LIKE to work on the bookmarks I started several days ago. I also have some other ideas rattling around in my head….
I’m making progress on the “clean-out-donate-or-throw-away-clean-and-reorganize” project in our master bathroom. I’m planning to do some each day until the shelves in there look like someone has a plan. I can see progress, but my husband hasn’t noticed yet.
My OWN idea of “happy” is having lots of things to do that bring you joy – or at least a strong sense of accomplishment. I believe happiness comes from inside and that you create it yourself. That doesn’t mean that I think one should go around with a doofus, happy grin all the time. But inner satisfaction does shine through.
