Last week went really well for me. I took the time to cook more meals than not this week. It made a difference to us. We ate earlier, we ate better and we ate together. Small things and just one thing that made a difference to how we lived this week.
At one stage I looked across the kitchen bench, our house was tidy, Mr Suger was working at the kitchen table chatting away about his day and their attempts to drill through the hardest soil he’d ever dealt with. The bubble of the pots on the stove and the heat of the kitchen and the cheeky red wine in my hand soothed me. I could feel the flush in my cheeks and smile.
This is living well. It’s not a number, a perfect figure, squeaky clean bills of health both physical and mental or the perfect regime. All things in moderation, taking time, communicating, loving, smiling… That is living well. And at that moment I decided that I’d keep “just one thing” going.
Let’s make it a thing.
What’s YOUR one thing for this week?
Mine is to kick back and smell the roses. I’ve been busy lately and it’s starting to show. I don’t take any glory from running around like a mad person, not spending time with the people I love and dropping the ball in a number of situations. Busy is not cool to me so it’s time for order and time out. That’s my plan this week.
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
I have challenged myself and a friend to spend an hr a night to do jobs! The hr must be told to the other and what is to be done in that hour! Plus we have treat/ reward of a cup of herbal tea if job is done!
Oooo nice one! Love that you went and found someone to work with as well. AWESOME.
I have a gym buddy, why not a house work buddy! plus I need to be accountable to someone to get things done.
Absolutely. Nothing is more effective when you need to get stuff done!
To live in the here and now.Who knows what the future will bring – good or bad?
