Protecting marriage is not a one time event, I have noticed. Efforts in 2010 served me then but do not create immunity in 2013. That's annoying.

 

Last spring, or perhaps the one before, I completely organized my sewing room. It was a mammoth job but I loved the space I got when it was done. Not only that I found lots of forgotten fabrics. But now it is a jungle of piles again, and I every time I give myself a deadline I wiggle around it. Probably the efforts I made months ago will make the job ahead less ominous. But I still gotta show up to do it.

 

I am building up momentum. Even telling you this helps fortify my willpower. I will clean the sewing room. I will. 

 

I will also write another moat tomorrow.
