Today was made for reveling in the minute. There is something entirely magical about a day at home with ADHD medication. I find myself lightly skipping from one completed task to the next, as though picking my way across stones in a sunny garden. Did I mention the tasks were completed? And the picking of the tasks are even mostly purposeful rather than the typical sequence of events that lead off trail for hours with not a singular thing entirely finished. And, although not every day on the medication turns out so gloriously, there are more of them than not.

One big step taken today was tidying my office, especially all of the lovely crafty and upcycling materials strewn about and tucked away in a multitude of drawers. I’ve been collecting (which is nicer to say than “hoarding”) for far longer than I want to admit for an updated Etsy shop of goodies. There will be items for paper planners (and by that I mean not only planners made of paper, but also those who plan using a paper format), reflection kits (vision boarding and DIY oracle card making), a few vintage items I love, and hopefully more crafted items for making spaces joyful.

I am noticing that I am more comfortable with the steps I’m taking to move my creativity and growth along, rather than shaming myself for not already having done the thing I know I want to be doing. It’s a wonderful shift.
