Eating Valentine's Day chocolates, watching Far and Away, and crafting
I had breakfast with my dear Sandy this morning, FINALLY, because the holidays were goofy and we've both traveled quite a bit already this year and things have been busy. We ate at C@meo Cafe up at the golf course by Costco, then headed down to Michaels on Jantzen Beach. I bought some teeny embroidery hoops with my birthday gift card - I will probably cross stitch something for a couple of them, frame some cute fabric with the rest, and arrange them together somewhere.
We chatted a lot about mental health, and being busy, and buying things that we think will make us happy (things can't make us happy), and we bring the things home and add them to our pile of stuff and end up feeling overwhelmed and guilty about having more clutter around. It inspired me to just slow the hell down, enjoy the things I have, and spend more time with Sandy and the other people in my life. And to declutter, always, but with an end game in mind: to be able to have folks over more often.
So here we are. I feel a lot closer to having figured some things out, and it feels good.
