The Art for the Day is: the art of appreciating what you've got.
I tend to schedule things around events, holidays, celebrations, work deadlines. I don’t think I’m unique in this, but I tend to push things off: “I’m not going to think about that until after this.” Or sometimes I’ll even make To Do After lists.
Today is the day after one of those events, which took place yesterday, and so I have more psychic space to think about projects I’ve been putting off, or set some new goals, to readjust my priorities.
1.this is coinciding with a major/ or another house cleaning effort, which in itself has 3 parts:
a) a sort of general spring cleaning
b) an ongoing attempt to divest accumulated stuff
c) preparing the interior to be painted at the end of the month
2. getting back to stalled projects:
This is a little overwhelming, as I feel like there are four or five areas I want to work on, and could spend a good amount of time on each. I’ve done some work on unraveling this (see post), and this may best be approached like a strict diet, making sure I have the things I need on hand, and having a daily plan and sticking to it.
3.getting back to stalled diets and exercise:
Planning and cleaning.
This is also helped by the season, holidays, history.
Spring. Renewal. Spiraling cycles.

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.
