The virtue upon which I am pondering this month because of Small Steps.
I am going to need courage this week. Holy Week has been a trial for the past few years. I am usually taking medication for anxiety by the time Good Friday comes around. I am hoping to avoid that this year.
Courage.
I like this word. Sort of.
The dictionary tells me that courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.
Really? I tend to think of courage as facing difficulties in spite of fear.
I have fear.
And I need courage.
I am starting a new project. Remember the other projects? The Kitchen? The Living Room?
I am going in to the Family Room. (I think I should be trying to figure out how to get the theme from Jaws inserted here when you read that last sentence.)
I have decided that this Holy Week I am going to dedicate to cleaning out the Family Room. I am sure most people don't think that is going to be too bad: straighten the room, organize the movies, get rid of shoes, coats and boots that belong in the garage.

Our "home office" is in the back one-third of the family room. It is a mess!
Seriously.
This is the location from where I run the house.
This is the location of all things that are homeless (or people just don't want to look for the home.)
I hate this area.
Which expains why I need courage for this.
Within this mess are papers I have been avoiding (easy to do when you can't find them), grades to track, tons of filing, two years of business papers to go through for boxing, unfinshed projects.
I am starting to scare myself out of this idea!
Hopefully, by the end of this week, I will find the end of this project, and a new appreciation for courage.
My last project I thought would take me 2 or 3 days, it took me 5 full days. I am hoping to get this done in 5 days. Can't wait to see what the final day result is!
See you at the end of the mess!
