deep breath of relief

today's victory:

wrapping Christmas gifts and reclaiming my table

I'd forgotten what normal looked like

and how good it feels

to make decisions

to put things in order

to eliminate clutter

step one was emptying my closet weeks ago

step two was taking inventory

step three was assigning gifts and changing my mind, multiple times

step four was making commitments 

step five was wrapping

anyone else guilty of overbuying

or replicating gifts

and needing to add another tiring step to the process?

Thursday's victory will be making returns and exchanges.
