Vision setting

 Having a vision motivates me to do the duller jobs in life. I need a little motivation this morning so I'll start by setting vision in a number of areas.

Entertaining

We have what we need to entertain, but I need to organize those items in an easy-to-access and easy-to-put away fashion. I always have to continue to get rid of items I don't need. This is high energy work. 

Baby play

I play a lot with my new grandchild, and I have some work to do to move our play objects and space up the developmental ladder. The next step is to make a baby storyteller space that we can use to create and act out stories and songs. This is creative work. 

Photo sort

I have boxes of family photos that I just received from my parents' house. I need to cull and sort those photos, then place them in some kind of containers, books, or digital form for a number of people who are included in the photos. This is rainy/snowy day work while I watch a good movie.

Changing old, not-so-healthy habits is always a challenge, but needs to be a priority.

I mostly spend this time in life directed to family and friend care and support, but when there's extra time I use that time to contribute to the greater community in ways possible. 

I'll continue to add to this list.

 As part of a health study I am participating in, I went to a talk about stress the other night. I left there realizing that I was using the...
