\"Me...Happy<\/p>\n

I want to share with you one of my very favorite quotes……. “You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you’ll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.”\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>I’ve been thinking about this thought today as I plan to somehow solve all the world’s problems ( and mine) before midnight tonight.<\/p>\n

I am confident, just as I am every year about this time that this coming year is going to be “my year”.\u00a0 I will hold on to that thought, however, as I have shared previously, my resolution this time is going to actually be achieveable……GETTING ORGANIZED! I have previously discussed how I\u00a0have been\u00a0organizing my closets in my house 1 by 1…well, now I am moving on outside.\u00a0 My next challenge is doing something with all that\u00a0STUFF I have in my backyard. I am one of the fortunate one’s\u00a0without a garage, but a carport in its place.\u00a0 I don’t really mind it, but it does\u00a0somewhat challenge\u00a0me in the “clutter” category.<\/p>\n

Surfing the web, I have\u00a0read much\u00a0instructing me to concentrate and reflect\u00a0on the “WHY” this resolution means so much to me, even suggesting\u00a0I spend\u00a0days reflecting and visioning how “organizing” will change my life.\u00a0 Let’s get serious, PLEASE, Just do it…like my quote implies..thinking and pondering\u00a0are not the same as doing!<\/p>\n

So, My first step was to find this great storage shed<\/a> that fits everything I need to put away in it. This is what it looks like …<\/p>\n

\"YardSaver\"<\/p>\n

It even fits up against the carport and looks like it is part of the original house.\u00a0 I am considering painting it to match my exterior paint. I am going to put all my garden tools,\u00a0garden equipment, bikes, summer toys, and pool equipment in it.<\/p>\n

I must say with all this organizing, I do feel like I am regaining control in some strange little way.\u00a0 Maybe\u00a02009\u00a0IS going to be my year.\u00a0 In reclaiming control of my clutter….I think I am\u00a0reclaiming control of my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
