Joy Express

Gosh, I am Tired!  It’s accumulated tiredness from weeks and weeks (months) of ‘stuff.  I am so due for a holiday!

Thank goodness, the first day of the Challenge was Simple and Easy to Achieve (mostly!), and almost feels like I have had a holiday.  The Lovely Stamping girls came over to get a head start on our Christmas Cards and we were Highly Successful with our achievements!  I have 6 cards started and just need to do the inserts and envelopes to finish. 

We had several new design ideas to make up: Bernie has done mine, Tricia did one of Jenny’s and Bernie & I did the other. 

I really enJOYed having the Girls here and having a change of energy ~ creative rather than angelic! 

I’ve checked in with the other Challengers and Lovely Beverly spent the day fixing her house’s sewerage system, with the help of her husband and father – Way To Go, Beverly!!!  Makes my bathroom cleaning seem quite a tiny project! 

The thing I like most about challenges is stepping into being accountable, achieving those tasks that might not have got done otherwise and having to tell the others what I’ve done.  So, the bathroom would have been mostly cleaned, yesterday, but I would have skipped the shower as I was Really Tired by the end of the day, if I hadn’t had to Tell the Girls that I hadn’t achieved my goal for the day. 

Sometimes, it’s quite beneficial to have to ‘check in’.

Now, in the early start to Day 2 of the Challenge, I actually feel quite pleased with myself because I went out of my way to achieve my goals, yesterday!  Woo Hoo!
