Small Steps

So this isn't going to feel like a major post, and in reality I should have done a lot more in these past weeks, but life has, once again, got on top of me.  But if you remember from my first post I am planning to completely gut and start again with my flat.  I have ignored it for the most part since I moved in and it is about time I turned into into a welcoming home that is both a sanctuary and somewhere I can entertain friends and family.

So while I was sat at my table today working I realised that part of the problem was staring me in the face.  My table used to look like this

If you can remember from my first post.  Lots of things piled up on the table, mostly rubbish and no room to really do anything.  Today while I was working I was joined by an ant, well when I say 1 ant it was actually 3 or 4.  And funny enough this spurred me into action.  3 rubbish sacks later and the following is the result

Not perfect I grant you, but I now have a little more space to work and get things done.  I also, for the first time in a long while, have a space that is clear where I can work, plan and start to really turn my life around in.

As they say, small steps are sometimes the best way.
