Getting it all Together

I started drinking St John's Wort tea 3 days ago and it has changed my life. I finally feel relaxed and calm. I am much less irritable and crazy feeling. I am much nicer to my husband and children. I just feel a relief from the internal weight that I couldn't seem to get rid of. Praise the Lord!

This has given me the relief I need to focus again. So I've been thinking of all the ways I'd like to change my life - for the better. I'm focusing on being a better mother, wife, and housekeeper. I've got my list and now it's a matter of deciding where to start. If I may, I'd like to share my list:

1. Be on-time to work, everyday.
2. Develop a consistant bedtime routine for both kids.
3. Potty train my son, maybe my daughter also.
4. Get in a consistant habit of doing a little housework everyday so it's not so out of control,
5. Organize my house to save time and anguish searching for things.
6. Redecorate my home to feel brighter and more cheery.
7. Develop healthy eating and exercise habits.
8. Plan meals to stay in budget and encourage home cooking.
9. Keep to budget and build savings while reducing debt.
10. Get outside more and enjoy God's creation.

I realize that this is probably a similar list to most people my age. But it really helps me to see it in writing. And hopefully posting this will keep me accountable to my commitment of change.

Since I have relief from my depression and anxiety, I feel hopeful that I can do whatever I put my mind, with the help of God. Now to develop a step by step plan...
