Great swim this morning, the sea was clear and green, the sky was (partly) blue, I went under water a lot and loved it.
Food shop today. We are eating a lot of Japanese type food at the moment. We always used to, probably until Hazel came along, then convenience and craving for sweets and pasta took over. But the girls love it, so we have been doing that. So now I'm not sure what the best way to do my shopping is as we have a number of very good Asian supermarkets in our neighbourhood. It's too expensive to buy everything from there, so I need to plan out my shop a bit better.
Another bootful for donation as well, I'll drop that off before I do my shopping. I don't know if I'll have time to do more clearing out today, but I have tomorrow and Friday this week as well. It's been a good week.
I've seen a couple of times, in articles about decluttering (why am I cluttering up my head with online reading? I'll have to deal with that once I've sorted the house) that you should try and imagine your home and your life, once all of the stuff is gone, and how you would like that to look and feel.
I like to imaging that I will have more time. I would like more time to play with the girls, to cook nice food, to exercise, to pray, to journal, read novels, go for walks, plan fun stuff.
I would like to have more room in my head and be present in the moment so that when my children speak to me, I really listen, so I don't forget everything, and so hat I can regain a bit of interest and joy in every day living.
I would like my house just to be clean and comfortable, that's all. I don't care much about stylish, there isn't a certain aesthetic, although I already have a lot of it decorated in pale pinks and I think it would be nice to enjoy that soothing colour without visual clutter.
I would like to have less choice. I picture a life where I am not always having to choose things.
