2011 was brutal. Joyful at times, but brutal.
It ended with a sad goodbye to the best mother-in-law in the world, Shirley A. Kipp followed by one of the best Christmas ever. Shirley loved Christmas so we honored that and celebrated.
Now it is 2012 - the year of the Dragon - and the " attic project". Step by step we are taught as children when we tackled, first walking, and later, any big project.
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott was the first book I was given about writing after my husbands death.
Now it is Box by Box.
Elizabeth, my oldest daughter, is my partner in productivity for this massive undertaking and she has wrangled a room full of baby furniture and clothes into submission and order.
I am dancing with the Chritmas room. I have amazing and wonderful - mostly - Christmas treasures.
I am packing away only the wonderful ones. Neatly. Labeled.
Box by Box will be the way to conquer the attic.
In 2011 the Dragon nearly killed me.
It is 2012. I AM the dragon.
Joyfully, bevelry
