One Project Per Day

I started a new "thing" this week.  It's called: "One Project Per Day".  As a bit of an overachiever, but also sometimes a bit lazy, I needed a good balance between doing everything in one day and being totally useless the next 3 days.  I made a list of things I would like to get done around the house and yard - things that are kind of extra and that feel overwhelming if I think of doing them all in one day.  Here is an example:

I needed some signs in our veggie garden so that I would know what was where - someone (who will remain annonomous) lost my tiny paintbrush which is what I will blame the sloppiness of the signs on - oh and the fact that I don't know where the chop saw is (and YES I do know how to use a chop saw) to make my own nice even little pieces of wood - I just found these in the kindling box. ;) 

Aren't my baby broccoli cute?!?!

Ok so potatoes aren't really up yet (except one that is in the back)- and the onions are freaking out after being transplanted.  I will have to add some pictures when the garden actually looks good.

THIS is what I would love my signs to look like - this was a bridal shower gift which I just really really like a ton. :)  As you can see the garden is definately in process.  So far I have the broccoli, peas (just came up ysterday!), onions, potatoes (only one is showing it's head), and lettuce greens which you can see some of here:

My BABIES!  Not only do I feel great when I get something done like these little signs - but I also love the natural therepy that being outside with my hands in the dirt gives me.  The whole world could be against me, but out in the garden I feel peace and total bliss.  If you don't have a garden, at least plant some flowers in a window box or a bot on your deck - it is so so good and a great way to escape from any type of pain.

Don't overdo it - just tell yourself: One Project Per Day!  (Ok I'll admit I did 3 yesterday - but they were all little ones and lots of fun)
