Getting Good Stuff Done

So today I felt better! I don't know why, but I'm just glad! I got some laundry done, cleaned up the back room, and after dinner, I straightened the kitchen up (in my house this means I put the cereal boxes that were on the counter away and hand-washed the dishes that require hand-washing). I wiped the counters down in the kitchen and I vacuumed the back room. The school table is cleared off.

Now I'm not going to lie: There are six bags of groceries that aren't put away in the back of the kitchen, and my pile of junk next to the couch is still there. The suitcases are still in the entry and the coffee table is completely hidden from view.

BUT...

I'll count today as a win, for it was a start! And it does feel good to get things done!

Along with the stuff around the house that I was able to do, I also played some games with Eliana. I need to do that more often. She loves it, and it's really fun. She beat me soundly at the Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich game, as well as Crazy 8s. After she wins, she looks at me with a smile and holds out her hand for a shake and says,"Good game!" She makes me laugh. 

Today was a good reminder for myself to be present, to pay attention. Sometimes I forget. So day by day, I need to remember to keep my eyes not only open, but also trained on the right object. Which would be persons, of course.
