Poet Helena's Profile

I've had a really hard time doing the cooking. I was enthused about it and doing well, but my weekend got shot when I had to go into work on Sunday (what has been my flower-buying/cleaning/cooking day). I did manage to paint my living room, and now I'm staring at ALL the pictures I have to hang back up. It does make a huge difference though.

I think of the meal I didn't cook, the walls I didn't feel, and I feel like I'm doing a crap job. But then I saw Sea's lists and they reminded me that there are lots of things I HAVE done, too.

It's just easy to beat yourself up about all the things you haven't done, or expectations you haven't met, as opposed to giving yourself a pat on the back for doing plenty of things right. I even think a little reward might be in order...next time I go flower-buying, I'm getting myself a nice bottle of wine to have with that dinner!
