Collection or clutter? 

Posted on by queentracey1

I have lots of, collections…

Baskets, bottles, mickey mouse, little chairs and benches, plants, teapots, little watering cans and little gardening things, books, movies, birdhouses, windchimes, 

That’s just what I can think of from the top ofy head.Now when my house burned in 99 I just started collecting everything! now I’m trying to collect less.My baskets r hung up around my kitchen , the border going around the middle of the room has plants, baskets, watering cans type things in it. I have more to put up on one more wall. Then comes more decisions!!!!

This is my journey back, forward and back again. Kitchen 95%done

Day 4.

The Daily Post Prompts…..

Tiny……………….

We are just tiny specks in a much larger dust pile.  Or

I have only a tiny amount of energy or insperation to clean and declutter today. I started in the kitchen, the best room already, now that I am almost done I am procrastinating on the next challenge. 

I try to remember something I read once in a very old medical book about depression, it said being depressed was just being selfish. Ya, old book. It stated sitting around saying poor me is just being selfish so get up and deal with it. Not word for word but you get the point. I am hoping I will find it as I unclutter and then can be more accurate.  So, I will stop rambling and get up.

Back , forward and back again

Posted on by queentracey1

I used to be an extreme Extrovert,  organized and in control. That changed in the last ten years. I was in a very unhappy emotionally and mentally abusive relationship that I just didn’t have the strength to change. I became totally opposite of my former self. In the past 2 years I have started to try to recover. I had decided when it effected my kids in an oblovious way that enough was enough. 

I have gotten better at going out and doing things I need to do on my own again and my kids are doing really good, so now it’s time to start to focus on my house.

These are a couple of shots of the bad spots to give u an idea on how bad it is. I am very ashamed I let it get to this point but now it’s time to get rid of it. First comes overwhemed feeling of drowning. Stress, frustrating feeling of complete how do I do this!!!!

 This is my journey from drowning in clutter and disorganization as an Introvert with times of agoraphobia to being organized,  independent and hopefully able to get back to my love of art and creating things. 

This is Day One.

Daily Prompt: Realize

Posted on by queentracey1

via Daily Prompt: Realize

Oh the ways I could go on, I have realized my life needs change, organization, newer people in my life, to learn how to say no, to be much healthier with out putting myself into a crisis, to get away from all the narcissist people I seem to be magnetically attracted to.

So. I have a lot of times that I realize I need change. I also realize a lot of these things are going to be hard to obtain. I know one day at a time. One thing a day, bla bla bla bla……..

Just saying it doesn’t make it happen and sometimes it seems very much out of reach.

JUMP 

Posted on by queentracey1

So, it was brought to my attention that I was asking questions about pingbacks and the prompts from the daily post , but, I never did write anything on the one word prompt. 

It shows an inner look at my thoughts, my brain, the scattered way I do things because this is actually my life. I jump from thing to thing, thought to thought, project to project. Every aspect of my life is this way. I have tried to write things down so I don’t jump around, ya that doesn’t work. I wish I could organize my thoughts, goals, things I need to do, things I need to remember, sometimes it works for a short period of time but not long. I need major organization in my house, that would help alot I’m sure but not so easy , I have tons of stuff I need to get rid of to make room, which, means a yard sale which, I have the place, finally, to do it but now I need to figure out how to display ( display is the key in all sales) things, tables, tarps, place for hanging things, then prices and signed and of course when do I want to do this. My brothers wedding is in two weeks and I’m stressing out over that as it is but I also need to take into consideration we have a cornmaze to go to this year that is a daylong thing, another weekend is a family thing from my bf family, I am going to run out of weekends in October.  See what I mean, jump, jump, jump….
