I have now owned my wonderful cozy home for one year! I love my home… the hard wood floors, the brightly colored walls, the clean white base boards…. I did this all myself! Yes there are things I need to fix:
Paint the kitchen Ceiling/ put baseboards in the kitchen
Paint the laundry room
Do something with the ‘lawn’ I have outside… put in drought tolerant native plants 
Ohhh get copper pipping in my house
get a continuous water heater It’s more energy efficient
Plant a second tree
Yes yes yes lots of items on this list….
But during this year I have learned a few things…. You see I started in therapy… and I’m supposed to work on looking at life on both sides of the coin. So I’m looking at everything I have done with my lovely house in the past year…. another list:
Painting, baseboards, curtains, light fixtures, ceiling fans, leather couches, coffee table, TV stand, new bed, fridge, stove, washer dryer, a succulent garden, pomegranate tree, honeysuckle vine, lavender……
There is so much in life that I haven’t done or feel like I haven’t done well or that I’m always doing something wrong. I’m constantly telling myself I haven’t done this or that right and soon everyone will hate me….. but if you flip the coin I’ve done something else… that means something else… that could be even better then what I was beating myself up about.
So I’m trying to flip the coin! Here’s me… flipping the coin!
