[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 622015, member: 17542"] Another thing I am learning is to do some new things in my own life. Several reasons: it keeps me busy (always good), it is something new to be excited about, and it creates new and positive conversations. I'm doing the 40x40 blog I mentioned earlier. It is scary---committing to blogging every day and more, doing the WORK so I can end up getting rid of 1600 items from my house. I started on my closet yesterday! Lordy, mercy! That will be a three or four day thing---as I have two more closets upstairs with clothes, shoes, etc. And I am finding that (like recovery), I can't do it all at once. I have to go through it multiple times and each time I am more ready to part with something that even a few hours or days ago I was hanging onto. Isn't that a great metaphor for our own journeys??? Also it's fun, I am really starting to feel "lighter" (although has nothing to do with weight, lol), and it's a positive focus. Like BITS' kitchen and her chickens. I think being able (have the energy, focus, etc.) to start something new is another phase of the journey. A couple of years ago or even months ago I wouldn't have had the energy or foresight or whatever to do this. It was all I could do to get through the day and I had to take a nap every single day to do that. But I am at a different point now. What a journey! [/QUOTE]
