Good luck with your February goals. Have you decided on the colour of the paint for the front security door yet? - that'll be a step in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. It is currently painted white - I was thinking of keeping it the same color. Maybe I should paint it a dark red - that way, the rust stains won't be as noticeable! :D
DeleteGood luck in February. I see some very specific goals for this coming month. I love those kind of specific "either you do them, or you don't" kind of goals.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. Yes, those specific "do or don't" goals are very clear cut, aren't they? It's the "on-going" things that are harder to accomplish. Maybe I need to break them down to more achievable bits.
