#76 - "It's Habitat"

 Hey.  Two actual days in a row.  Who knew I could be so disciplined?  Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves, now.

Still in the clean/organize/purge/figure out what the flock is going on mode.  I am trying very hard to:  1) take baby steps; 2) practice gratitude; 3) remind myself that every journey begins with a single step, and mostly 4) remember, in the words of my dear friend Katy, "It's Habitat."

What did Katy mean by that exactly?  Well, one day I was bitterly complaining to Katy about the weeds in my yard.  She said, "Laura, remember:  it's habitat."  Is this akin to the saying "one person's trash is another person's treasure"?

I do have a creature comfort filled habitat when I am hunkered down.  I wonder why I have what I have and why it's, in way too many ways, so similar to the original Vault Goddess' abode.  Wait, that's not really true.  It's the carefully curated collection of T H I N G S that surround me.  Some, are not really MY things, and I have had them for almost 15 years.  Others belonged to the ImperialMan and I've only had those for 5 years (and even that's way too long).

Sounds like that's the next task.  Weeding my habitat of the things of others.  Ok, we'll add that to the To Do list.  I'll try and see what can be done, reminding myself to take those baby steps, practice gratitude, and if I do just one thing every day,  eventually the true habitat will reveal itself.

Hope springs eternal.
