I am going to try focusing on little changes and writing small achievable lists for each week. Step by step, slow and steady and I will get back on top of things again! :)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819665437140231885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297187013485067453.post-90960238807380582992015-09-12T11:13:22.159+08:002015-09-12T11:13:22.159+08:00Good luck getting back to basics Sharon.

And in turn its easy to get overwhelmed with the changes you want to make and things you want to do. I feel better about times like this by focusing on little changes. And take small steps.

Although if you look closely the whole entire vege garden is covered in paint splatters from when they painted the shed next door, they obviously didn't care what they were painting - so cross about that. There are some very good ideas you have written, I had been trying to do an hour in the garden on my shorter working days but found I was out there much longer which made me so very sore that I then had trouble doing the inside chores. I do need to change the way I do things. Cooking a meal that I can freeze makes lots of sense as I can then pull it out when I know for sure it's just me for that meal. Thank you for taking the time to give me some ideas, sometimes you can't see the simple or more obvious way of doing something when you are overwhelmed. One of the nice things about blogging is 'meeting' lovely people who are always willing to share advise or great stories :)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819665437140231885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297187013485067453.post-77748687029359524522015-09-10T07:28:02.238+08:002015-09-10T07:28:02.238+08:00Hi Sharon, your vegies look superb! Sorry to hear ...Hi Sharon, your vegies look superb! Sorry to hear you are feeling overwhelmed. Instead of looking at the big picture, could you just start small and say bake one day this week, cook a meal that you can freeze the following week and add some gardening, even just 15 minutes into every second day? The thought of having to change to everything being done by just you would have me running a mile too as it's just so much. Sorry to also read you live with chronic pain - be gentle on yourself - you have the right intensions xJan (a gluttonous wife)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04980538485559579650noreply@blogger.com
