The test began in earnest. We started our chore cards this week, and I thought, what a great time to FINALLY clean house. I’m interested in minimalism and was struck by the premise that visual noise stifles creativity.

So, with the chore card in hand, I read enthusiastically and concentrated on colors and shapes. Off to a great start – right?

Then, by Wed, I knew that I was in trouble. A trip to the doctor confirmed that I had Covid. The next few days were a blur – literally. Trying to read was like watching ants dance on paper, also making my head hurt. But I always keep my promises.

When I began to feel more myself, I read again, with ENTHUSIASM. The simplicity of it has energized me and kept defeatism at bay. Just a few more days to get my energy back up and get that chore done, but I will get it done, get it done, get it done.

Can’t wait to see what next week has in store!
