progress

I'm tired tonight, so I might take advantage of that and try to get a little more sleep than I usually manage. So just quickly ...

I've taken some steps in the right direction in the past few days:

• I've written a letter which has been hanging over me for a while. I hope it is received in the spirit in which it was written, and I hope it can help heal.
• I've started on the decluttering path again. This is such a huge bugbear to me, and it's become very clear that I am the only one who has the problem with too much stuff (although a large part of it isn't my stuff), therefore I need to take positive action to make it change. So I am giving away, donating to the school fete and charity, throwing out, and working through it slowly. And because I am doing it for me, I don't feel so hard done by when I'm the only one doing it.
  
• I've made the sleep clinic appointment, and the GP appointment so I can organise the revised referral..
• I've planted some seeds.
• I've started to work out some more definite travel plans. It's only going to happen if I make it happen, and I really really want this.
• I've realised I hit a brick wall between about 3 and 5pm, so I'm going to try to work with that. I will put in a concerted effort earlier in the day - paid work alternating with household and other commitments (because, oddly enough, by breaking it up I seem the achieve more) - and have time out in the afternoon when I can't concentrate well anyway.

I, of course, am the common denominator in all this. I don't want to wait around for things to happen, or for inspiration, or for other people. I want to do something to make things happen. And I am :)
