i'm kind of a natural high of being excited over my workspace. i rearranged my setup at work by just a little bit and finally got rid of boxes that had been cluttering my space ever since we got moved around. i have seen some photos of clean cubicles online and it inspired me to make my own space nicer. now i'm excited about decorating my work space as i've never ever done that before. i always say i'll bring in pictures but if anything has ever decorated my desk it's been the trinkets that co-workers bring me from their vacations.

that natural high of excitement over my workspace was brought home to my living space. i feel really excited and motivated to get this place in order. i had been in the winter doldrums due to it being winter (i know it doesn't snow but cold/dark can still bring you down) and the whole getting laid off thing and new job with a lot of red tape gets you down too. i've been unorganized for too long and i'm ready to do something about it. it's gonna take time. i keep saying i'm going to do this but finally i really feel it.

one thing that i had been putting off was cleaning my car which i did today inside and out so that feels great. however, today you could say either was a minor setback or the first project got started. it's not a project that was on the front of my list but rather the back. i started going through my old photos and i was really surprised at some of the ones i found. i started scanning the ones of my dad and our family when i was little. i was shocked that there was a picture of all of us, our little family unit together. even my mother was shocked that such a picture exists. we didn't think one did at all. i'll probably put these in an album or back how they were so i don't get too distracted and move on to some bigger projects that will be much bigger visual impact on my living space. i have managed in the past month to clear off a shelf of dvds by selling them so i'm proud of that. it's a small shelf but still an accomplishment. i need to tackle now bigger chunks of my living room and bedroom.
