...and...FORTY-FOUR!
(and one day!)
I was thinking about the calendar, because my husband and I celebrate our anniversary one week from today. But the fact that another 12 has passed by on the calendar escaped my notice until my mom called to congratulate me.
I actually got brave and started on a new project -- getting my office and bedroom (including the dreaded closet) cleaned up. This takes bravery for a number of reasons. First of all, those rooms are truly the most horrific to tackle. But as I've mentioned before, I think that these messy rooms are helping to keep me alive, because the idea of dying and having friends and neighbors help my husband tackle these rooms is a powerful motivator to keep breathing!
The good news is that even when these rooms are finally under control, I've still got plenty to live for!
