Doing New Things
For many years now I've kept a list of new things that I do. It spurs me to do new and different things at some times when I'd rather be content doing the same old, same old, or nothing at all. This year, I was too distracted to consider writing down the new things at the beginning of the year, but this year, I've been doing many, many new things.
New things don't have to be exciting adventurous things. They can be little things. Today's new thing was probably a 4 on a scale of 1-10 in terms of hard to do.
I scrubbed the garage wall where the trailer had been parked. It had become green with some stain, I would guess maybe a kind of mold that was growing there because the air couldn't circulate behind the trailer well. It took a little elbow grease but the stain came off really well. Actually, it took a good bit of elbow grease but it wasn't beyond what I could do.
Then I shoveled part of the area near the garage where the trailer had been parked. When we got soil from the peat bog for me to use for garden and for potting plants, my husband unloaded the truck on the driveway, closely in front of the trailer. I want to use the soil for plants, and I want to get the driveway area cleaned up.
I feel good about the work I got done today. It's a little warmer at the moment, warmer than it's been most of the day. I think I can probably work outdoors a little more this early evening.
