stale


I am craving change.

That isn't a phrase that leaves my mouth very often. In fact, I'm usually one of the last people on board with a new idea. But we need a shake-up around here. Everything seems gray, dirty and old. And the comfort of routine has become too much, the rhythm of our days way too repetitive. Like any good beat that gets you going, after a while, it becomes annoying, headache-inducing noise. And I'm having a tough time getting over the hump, instead just existing at an even keel with the recurring beat thumping subtly in my head.

Must be time for a to-do list for a new, fresh outlook. What can I modify or transform that will do the same for my attitude? This is what my brainstorm produced:

Move the furniture around.
Organize the kids' closets.
Try a new recipe this week.
Complete one of my bookmarked projects.
Reline the pantry shelves with new paper.
Vacuum the van.
Redeem that massage certificate.
Get a haircut.

How do you jumpstart when your tank is running low?

Feeling the same way Rachel. We are in the middle of a painting project..5 years overdue and have to get it all done in less than a week(before Ethan's bday party). Change and stressed, all rolled into one;)

I say the first place to start is prayer. And then that FREE massage!! It will only be short lived enjoyment but it sounds so wonderful.
