But, I'm learning to accept it...it feels so much better than being stressed.Chandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762890253069994748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41898982440151589.post-30468780764808082512012-01-16T13:01:14.374-08:002012-01-16T13:01:14.374-08:00Allow happiness.

I, too, worry that the happiness I've found in my life is unreal, and that I'll return to the way I was in my twenties. But if feeling good is a natural state, then maybe you and I don't have to worry so much. :)<br /><br />Your daughter is hilarious. She sounds just like me at that age. And at this age. A couple things that help me -- and yes, sometimes I feel very much like I'm raising a kiddo -- is to set a timer and clean for, say, 20 minutes at a time. Perfect for short attention spans!<br /><br />Another thing I do is make organization fun -- I get all kinds of empty food containers and shoe boxes and label them so I always know where to put things. Sometimes I'll include pictures on the labels.<br /><br />I also try focusing on one corner or section of a room at once. I kind of divide my studio into quadrants and tackle one at a time.<br /><br />I hope that helps! I'm honestly the messiest kid I know. ;)Sarah Sequinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221653054315631804noreply@blogger.com
