{one little word 2011} Week 13

{simple}

Being ill the last week and trying to recover and catch up this week, there were not too to choose from. However, when I began thinking about writing my One Little Word Challenge post for this week, the above photo is definitely not the one I thought I would be using.

I have a couple really great photos of Dakota and Jaffery playing out in the snow, at that perfect time in the afternoon where the lighting is perfect. I was planning to use one of those, not the picture of my 1/2 dirty clean kitchen. While this photo is much better than if I would have taken it about 24 hours prior, it is still not where I thought I would be nearing the end of March. 

I thought I would be well on my way, moving toward my perfect {simple} life. Dishes caught up, laundry done, junk drawers cleaned out, in addition to spending more time enjoying the {simple} things... yeah... one can dream. 

I guess I'm a dreamer. I recently told my supervisor at work (while discussing some big project/office/campus changes I would love to see, but know better to think it will happen in my lifetime) that I tend to "dream big". He said "It's better to aim at the moon and miss than to aim at a skunk and connect". Love it... and I suppose he is right. It is just really hard to keep motivated when I feel like I am  "behind schedule".

Over the last week, I have given myself permission to reflect, sleep, play, watch TV, do nothing. It has been nice. I feel so much better this week than I did before I was sick! I feel rested. I'm looking forward to this weekend. I have a lot on my to do list, however am excited and motivated!
