Monday 20th January 2025 - A Day of Renewal and Progress

“Every step forward, no matter how small, is a step toward renewal, growth, and joy.”

Hello all.

Monday was a productive day filled with much-needed personal time and significant progress at home.

The day started on a high note with two engineers arriving to finally fix our oven and tumble dryer. By lunchtime, both appliances were back in full working order – a small but impactful win that made the house feel a little more functional again.

After lunch, I prioritised some much-needed self-care. A trip to the hairdressers for a haircut, followed by trimming my nails, a shave, and a relaxing candlelit bath, left me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Taking this time to focus on myself reminded me of the importance of slowing down and indulging in simple joys.

With a renewed sense of energy, I tackled an overdue task – replacing the brakes on my bike. While fitting new brake pads, I took it for a test ride and, to my surprise, the axle on my back wheel snapped! It was rusty and beyond saving, but rather than feeling disheartened, I embraced the opportunity for an upgrade. A walk to Halfords led to me trading in my broken bike for a shiny new hybrid model, my first of its kind. I’m thrilled about the change and can’t wait to experience a more comfortable, upright ride on the roads. My new bike will be ready by Wednesday, and I’m looking forward to exploring the possibilities it brings.

Back home, I shifted focus to decluttering my workspace. After sending out the latest updates from the Home Harmony Project and sharing them across social media, I tackled packing up two large items sold on eBay – an iMac and a computer. It felt incredibly freeing to clear out space in my office, making it easier to sit at my desk and work without navigating a maze of clutter. This accomplishment has inspired me to continue downsizing and transforming my space into a more open, inviting area.

Every small step – from fixing appliances to self-care, upgrading my bike, and creating space – has added up to a day that felt purposeful, refreshing, and deeply fulfilling.
