Inspired and Motivated

I did it again. I waited until the last minute. I stretched myself too thin, staying up waaayyy too late and waking up at the crack of dawn. I do it every. single. year. And then I promise myself "next year will be different," "I'll start in October, and plan everything ahead of time." Yeah, I'm talking about Christmas. The decorating, gift buying, and get togethers. My point is I wore myself out. I ended up sick and dragging myself into the new year.

Well, I've gotten myself healthy and I'm feeling extremely inspired and motivated. I had a bit of a revelation after reading this post from The Nester. She says she figured out early on that she is not a "full reveal" type of blogger. She shares everything along the way, including the not so pretty stuff. It's not a new concept by any means, but reading that this past weekend made me realize I should probably do the same. It takes me forever to pull a room together in my home. Mostly because I can't commit as much time as I would like. So, I'll be sharing my dining room progress soon. But for now, I'm off to my full time job!
