Started decorating for Spring the other day and pulling out some Easter decor. But I seem to get distracted with all this new time we've been given. I've yet to get it done.

Usually, I'm writing in my planner and adding "to do's" to my endless list. But I found myself feeling like..."hey, what's the big rush. We have all the time in the world." Ever find yourself feeling that way? Taking time for granted?

I know this will end and I will soon regret it having slipped away, having not accomplished much. So I need to get myself in that "get it done mode". But how?
How do you motivate yourself?

Conversation when taking the kids back home yester

Conversation when taking the kids back home yesterday...
L: Mimz, dad has been getting our garden ready so we can plant. We're gonna plant lots of things but no cantaloupes cause we're "holics". (Meaning anything they overindulge in they add "holic" to.)😂
Me: That's awesome! Cause Grandpa will be getting ours ready and I'm planting lots of peppers and tomatoes so I can make lots of salsa.
L: But could you plant peppers that aren't too spicy? Cause I don't like my salsa very spicy!
.
Hence why I make them their separate jar of "non spicy" salsa!❤️

See what you can do with time on your hands? Treasure hunts!
.
When we moved into this 138 year old house we discovered there was a small patch of floor in one of the bedrooms upstairs that seemed way--too---hollow. Boo pulled up the carpeting and sure enough there was a small cut out section that opened up to a hollowed out box and the cover was only 1/4" plywood. It's no wonder someone foot didn't go through it!
.
Unfortunately No TREASURES in the hollowed out box (to our dismay). But time capsule (of sorts) stuff was in there. I feel whoever left those behind must've been my daughters kindred spirit.
.
Oh well :(

LOVE LETTERS-- Yesterday flew by as we organized a

LOVE LETTERS--
Yesterday flew by as we organized and simplified our garage area. Seemed like a good thing to do while we're holed up! Several hours into it, going through some items we've had boxed up...we found ourselves reminiscing. Some were the kids things, then there were little momentos of our 39 years together. But the best...were all the love letters Boo had given me when we first started dating and precious notes from loved ones. I've always loved handwritten letters!!! .
A lot can be accumulated in 39 years. Today I decided it's a good day to rest in our nest we've built on for thirty nine years and just relish in that for a moment. I'm also thinking that I am going to bring back the art of handwritten letters. I will start by writing a letter to someone that has been an inspiration to me all my life. She's been the perfect example of what family should be. It's just a shame that I've waited this long to tell her. .
Who would you write to and have you waited to tell someone how much they mean to you? What does your nest consist of? Did you hold on to your love letters?
