Radvent day two!! Today’s theme, “organizing,” is not about making your life perfect or forcing yourself into new habits, because that’s a sure way to feel like a failure (which you are not at all!). The point of organization is to clear out all of the things that make you feel bad, that let crappy feelings bubble up to the surface, and making room for good feelings, for better things, for family, friends, hobbies, health.
This task was pretty easy for me, since I was going to do it anyway. Score! I'm just glad that I got the extra-push from the Radvent to not procrastinate until December 21st. To get into the Christmas spirit, I thought it would be appropriate to pack up the Halloween/Thanksgiving/Fall decor and replace with Christmas spirit! I left the decorative leaves up because we haven't gotten curtains yet and it just looks so sad without them after they've been put up. I should definitely work on finishing the project of getting curtains. And yes, this is a little embarrassing, but that is our air conditioner that we JUST removed. Whoops!
Today we were successful in picking out and decorating our Christmas tree. It was definitely weird for me to "trek" out into the shopping center parking lot to the large corral of trees. I've been collecting ornaments from various places that I've traveled just for our first tree in our own place. They have mostly been from coastal places, hence the nautical theme, but I am pretty proud of the ceramic Tulum jaguar from Mexico and my double decka London bus!
