Monday Musings...

I'm deep in the midst of decluttering my home office and it is exhausting. OMG! I had no idea how much stuff I had stored away in the closet, shelves, filing cabinets, etc. - it is anxiety-inducing, sad, and eye-opening. Talk about retail therapy gone awry. Crikey!

YouTube stationery videos - I'm addicted. I keep watching videos about planners and stationery minimalism. I'm also watching decluttering videos. I've definitely fallen down the rabbit hole. Yikes!

Tracker. I'm hooked. I loved the first half of season two and can't wait for the next half. It's supposed to return to TV on Feb. 16th and I can't wait! I'm rewatching the first season to tide me over. 

Cold weather in Florida is the best. I am loving the chilly temperatures, because I can finally wear sweaters and coats. Woo hoo!

Reading. I haven't started any new books so far. Everyone keeps posting about their first read of the year and I can barely figure out which book to even start for JLC18. Ugh. It's just hard to focus on reading at the moment and it is frustrating me. 

I'm sitting at my desk staring at a mess of paints - acrylic, watercolor, gouache - wondering when I became an artist. Oh, wait. I didn't. Art supplies are just a reminder of my depression making me think I needed a huge supply to help me be creative. Ack! 

I just need to keep reminding myself that I am finally making progress in decluttering and that is what matters. Push the guilt and shame aside, and keep going - get rid of it all! Okay, not all, but you know what I mean. Only keep what I will actually use/like and donate the rest. Wish me luck!

Alright, I'm off to run some errands before I continue 'the great declutter of 2025' - I also want to carve out some time to read something. Wishing you a lovely Monday! Happy reading!
