ON THE GRAM

To get your week started right, build some flat pack furniture first thing on a Monday morning. 

That way, NOTHING will seem as frustrating, difficult, confusing, or bring as many swear words as what you’ve already accomplished 😆 

I’d had a vision of the lamp I wanted in this little corner, and last week it arrived. Because Mondays are a quieter day for me, with no outside meetings (just the one team meet), I can have a slower start and not feel as time pressured. 

So I decided to “quickly” build this tripod-lamp-with-shelves. 

I honestly don’t know what possessed me to imagine it would be a quick task: after moving house only a few months ago you’d think I would remember. 🏠

But no, my naive Monday morning motivation kicked in. I’d had coffee. The rain and mist have come down and it’s dark and grey out. Let there be light! 💡 

More like...let there be lost screws, awkward angles, tripod legs sticking out all which way, screws which won’t go in the hole, or which do go in but then come back out, an allen key which can only be turned one millimetre at a time, and a hell of a lot of swearing. 🔣 ✳️ ✴️ ⁉️ 

BUT. 

As with all projects of this kind, you figure it out eventually. I figured it out. (I also left one screw just sort of half in half out because after about seven attempts i decided who cares, the thing seemed solid enough.) 

And now I have this lovely, calm, WELL LIT corner of the conservatory area upstairs so on another quiet morning I can just go down, sit in the yellow chair, and read or work or just stare out the window. 💛 

Most of all, i had a few things hovering in my mind which i needed to sort out today - you know the way, you wake up thinking “oh i need to send that email, and get back to them, and I wonder about that project”... 

...but none of those seem too complex now. After all, I’m basically a joiner right now. 😆 (I WISH) 

At least it’s ready for my visitors to have lovely calmness on a Monday morning !!

Woke up naturally at 7am and there was some colour across the sky, so I took a little drive to enjoy the sunrise. 

I’d had great plans to go for a long drive on Saturday, but my body decided it was worn out, and the weather decided it was too. After a week of sunshine and snow and sharp edges, everything went grey and rather dreary. So I decided to take the hint and do nothing. 

Only to be rewarded with this today. So much quiet. 

Happy Sunday. ❤️☀️✨
January isn’t my month for resolutions. It’s going to be February.

I’ve done the resolutions thing. Bought notebooks. Made lists. 

But January is smack-dab in the middle of a deep cold winter. Nature itself is still hibernating, still thinking. There are no buds on the trees. The ground is cold and frozen, like rock. There’s snow and ice, and frost every morning on my windows.

It’s a time for being cosy and wrapping up. For long walks in the cold, and coming inside to drink hot mulled things and wrap up by the fire.

And, if you have headspace, starting to reflect on the last year and consider the one coming ahead.

January is for reflection.

After the reflecting can come the resolving.

I’m a fan of resolving things when it’s time to resolve them. The time of year doesn’t matter if your previous thinking on the matter leads you to a decision. Make the decision. Resolve the thing.

But I’m also a fan of rhythms, and patterns. I believe most January resolutions are a reflection of things which have been considered for some time. They’ve been hovering in the background for months. You’ve been thinking about it and now the new fresh new year is a time to take action.

So if you haven’t had that time to reflect, you still need it. I definitely do. Last autumn was one of the toughest, most exhausting times of my life in many areas. I adjusted my business, my living space, my location, my mindset. Implementing them took more energy and time and brain space than I expected.

So I’ve decided January is my month for reflection. I’ll let things simmer. Review, read back. Consider. Ask for help. Have conversations with fellow agency owners. Stir up energy and excitement again.

By February I’ll be in a place for resolutions. My birthday is in early Feb, which is also a perfect time for new starts.

So the Gregorian new year may start in January, but my own personal new year starts in Feb.

How about you? When is a good new year for you?
