I had a wall over there that I called my Wedding Wall. Pictures of Ken and me, my children's, and their children's wedding pictures were hung there.
But when I moved here, I didn't have a wall where I could put them. For some reason, this house has fewer blank walls and more windows. So I stacked them on a bed in a bedroom I didn't use--to do later. And they have stayed there all this time--along with all the other pictures I didn't know what to do with.
My solution was to close the door to the room when I had visitors. And procrastinate. But my friend Jeanette said she would help me. She couldn't make any decisions--I had to do that--but she said she would keep me company while I worked.
Now that is a true friend. It took the better time of the day, but I got all the pictures in boxes and stored away. I had thought that having to look at the mess would motivate me to do something about it. It didn't. But with the pictures in boxes where I can deal with them one box at a time, I might, (might) get them sorted to give to the people who need to have them or throw them away. (?) Everyone keeps their photos on their phones nowadays.
Then tomorrow, I am going to have a party at my house for my connection group--and leave the bedroom door open. The room looks great. No pictures on the bed. No mess.
Amazing what an offer from a friend--to help you--can do for your attitude. I just didn't want to do it by myself. Too boring. I needed someone to talk to me while I worked. My friend Jeanette came to my rescue.
