After a flooding rain the other day, we are still cleaning up all the bark chips that floated away from our flower beds. Our breezeway was underwater and of course, the septic system backed up. But my sister was over that day, braving the elements so our boys could get together and so we could hang out for the afternoon. It was a great way to spend a stormy day.
Yesterday dawned clear and beautiful, and today will be the same. I know that Springtime weather is still far away for my northern friends, but just knowing that today is the calendar first day of Spring is enough to get excited about!
Today's Small Thing is to let some sunshine in by washing a window. The ones I notice the most at our house are the sliding glass door and the kitchen window. Wow! They are pretty bad! The doggy nose-prints and slobber have GOT to go. I notice that there are a lot of sticky fingerprints that must say "adios" as well.
Can it get any easier than THAT? Oh, I surprise myself with such tiny tasks. Tsk, tsk.
But great things happen in the small steps, remember? Having a little bit of pride and gumption about how things look around here makes me feel like I can take on the world.
Just one small thing at a time.
