Go scrap!

I have a day off today. Sort of. I work 4 days a week and fit some freelance and voluntary work into the other day plus spare time. I was overwhelmed so I thought that I would have an extra day off work this week to concentrate on some of my other projects. But it's nearly 11 am and all I've managed to do is have a bath...

So - I ask myself the question:

"What can you do today
that at the end of the day
will allow you to sit back and say
'today was a really successful day'."

Most of my projects need loads of work doing on them - none of them are at that point where I can make a big breakthrough and feel that rush of success! I need some "two-minute" jobs that I've been procrastinating about...

• Relaxing is definitely on my list! So that's ticked off {sigh}
• Apply to renew my passport
• Put entries in all of my blogs (but NOT spend time on the forums!)
• Some housework is needed, but to get a success in shortest time... the bathroom...
  

and of course what would give me a big fillip of satisfaction would be to complete a LO, or better still, three LOs. That really would have me saying I've succeeded in something today, as I get so little time to scrap and haven't done any this month {gasp}. So: post at least one on this blog by the end of the day!

I can recommend this question if you're ever at a loose end.

Tell me (via comment!) what would make today (whatever day you read this) a success for you? And then - did you accomplish it?

Challenge - Win, win, win!

Lewis Hamilton - the new prodigy in Formula 1 motor racing, won his first Grand Prix on Sunday in just his 6th race in Formula One.

He had never driven at the Montreal track before the weekend, and he gained pole position and led from the front despite four incidences of the safety car and a dreadful accident from which, thank God, Kubica escaped with only a broken leg.

Hamilton said: “It has been a fantastic day for me and my family - this is history. To come here for my first visit to Canada and to win - it has been just a fantastic feeling ..."

So this week's challenge - what is your greatest achievement? When did you last feel like jumping up and down in the air with delight and joy? (Alternatively - would would you LIKE to achieve - get it down on paper and you have more chance of seeing it happen..)

Please post a comment and link if you make a LO that celebrates your achievement(s).
