Thanks to the spring cleaning I’m doing, I’m feeling re-energized to make good on a lot of things on my resolutions list. Oh, a few have passed their expiration date, but better late than never, right? The year’s only a third of the way through, so if I hustle, I can probably make a decent showing. Plus, with the trip to Portland, I’m hoping my creativity will get an even bigger boost. I really feel broken in some aspects of my life, so I need to fix things. One step at a time, as long as I’m not standing still. Stopping to smell the roses is all fine and dandy, but first, I need to have roses to smell.
