You know I got halfway through today when I realised that I hadn’t even thought up an opportunity to think positively about something! Everything was going all right by itself thank you very much! But then………
The Real Estate Agent is bringing a prospective buyer through the property tomorrow. I resisted my initial urge to instantly switch to panic mode and instead, calmly made a list of the jobs I needed to get done before tomorrow.
Top of the list was to finish cleaning the windows. I started them weeks ago, but then it rained, then it was too sunny, then I had to go out and do something vitally important like save the world or something, and so, the remaining windows never really got done. But it could be put off no longer. I grabbed the window cleaner and the scrunched up newspaper, and off I went, scrubbing and cleaning until I felt my little arms were close to falling off! I began to get that feeling; you know the one you get when you think you’re the only person in the world who works really hard and that no-one else appreciates all that you do? Yeah, that feeling. But then I thought……
Just think of how shapely my arms are going to be after this! Yes! I like shapely arms. I do. And now, not only will I have such shapely arms, but I’ll also have clean windows! Another woo-hoo moment! This positive thinking is fun!
And if that wasn’t enough, then I moved onto the carport. Now let me tell you, our carport is shockingly dirty. Leaves, dirt, dried up globs of mud. I set to work, sweeping up the leaves and dirt and shovelling them all into the bin. All this at 5.30 pm when by golly, it gets cold up here! But guess what? I wasn’t cold! In fact, I was warm! No need to light the fire tonight! (Well not just yet anyway, but when I cool down? That could be another matter.)
Aah, it’s working. I’m feeling good. Bring on Day 3!
