But yesterday Bruce was off work and had time to hang the curtains that my mom bought me for Christmas....and what a difference it has made in our living area! And then we took down the Christmas tree and decorations and as much as we all loved them...things instantly looked cleaner.
It really was such a little effort for a big payoff. But life isn't always like that. In real life right now we are trying to eat better and that's a whole lot more effort for a smaller instant payoff. Even though the payoff might be happening inside...it will take a while before we see any big payoffs....we didn't get here overnight and we won't be at our best overnight....but the effort will be worth it!
I realized yesterday that the small effort made in my home really made happy. Sprucing up, whether it's your home or you diet or just getting dressed up for a night out, can make a difference in how you feel, your outlook. It feels good for things to be in their place, to be more organized and to enjoy a clean room. It's a slow process sometimes but definitely worth that feeling of satisfaction at the end of the day.
