Ya'll, I don't know why I feel so exhausted. I feel like I just ran a really long marathon and finally crossed the finish line or something. This graduation just knocked me out, I guess! I slept about three hours yesterday afternoon and I'm starting to feel revived....so thank you for your patience with me!
Thank God for Small Things to accomplish each day - the little tasks that give me a sense of direction and movement when I get stuck in inertia, which is pretty much all the time, but especially after a big event. :)
Today's Small Thing is all about tops. I started noticing the tops of things the other day, when I happened to run my finger across the top of my coffee maker and realized I could draw a design in the dust. Ew. And I thought I'd just cleaned that. From there, my gaze went to the top of my stove vent hood. Oh mercy. Really, Rachel? Suddenly I noticed that the tops of every thing in my kitchen were dusty.
I am still afraid to look at the top of the fridge.
So I moved on to the next room, simply observing tops. Tops of picture frames. Tops of tables. Tops of lamps. Tops of books. Tops of electronics. Tops of vases. Tops of baseboards. Tops, tops, tops.
Tops. Basically, they are dust magnets!
Today's Small Thing is to fill in this blank: "Today, I cleaned the top of my _______________."
Now, if you are an indecisive person, you'll have to overcome your propensity to procrastinate and simply PICK ONE THING for your blank. What you can do is this: whip out a dust cloth, damp rag or feather duster and hit the high spots of a bunch of things as fast as you can. Then, find something odd or super high or perennially ignored for your blank fill-in. My refrigerator top comes immediately to mind....
What top will you tidy today? Fill in the blank in the comments today...let's see who's got the TOP top!!
