Funny WOW moment!!!

I hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend so far!! I am getting a few things wrapped up & waiting for the thunderstorms to arrive!! I love the rain... yeah, I know, I am weird like that!! Anyway - I spent my day cleaning!! My apt complex is having a big garage sale next month & I decided to participate hence the cleaning spree!! I have been in this apt for a couple of years but never felt like totally unpacking before - lots of reasons but mostly laziness!!! Well I have made huge progress between cleaning out the garage & my closets upstairs!! I have 2 HUGE walk-in closets, one in my bedroom & the other off my living room... the latter was the closet I attacked today!! I emptied the entire thing out & have been going through designating things to sell & trying to organize it so, I don't know, maybe we can use it to put coats in when people come to visit... a novel idea!!  In the midst of this I found some stuff that needed to go in my linen closet in the bathroom... here's the funny WOW moment... The closet is deep but not very wide!! In the past I could barely reach into it to put things on the shelves!! Well today I not only reached in, but holy crap, I fit in there... sideways mind you but I got in there nonetheless!! My first thought was "Oh sh*t! If I get stuck in here that will suck BIG TIME!!" Well not only did I not get stuck I could reach the back of every shelf & found myself rearranging things while in there!!! I couldn't believe it!! I laughed my butt off!!! I swear, it really is the little things in life!!!  I am making this place feel more & more like home every day & I know that wouldn't be happening without the new-found energy I have since having surgery!! It is awesome!!!  Have a great night everyone!! Cece

Awesome, Cece!!!  I remember when you were starting out, so this is a great thing to hear.   Everyboyd has different wow moments, but when they hit it is so important to savor and share them! Thanks for sharing yours! Take care, Sue

Thanks Rosemary!! I have had a few moments with clothing & such but this was truly funny to me!! I live alone so all I could think of was getting stuck in there!!! How funny would that have been??  The other day I was running up & down the stairs bringing things to the garage & on the 6th trip what I had just done suddenly hit me!! I was carrying some decent size boxes & running up & down without giving it any thought AND I wasn't horribly out of breath!! When did THAT happen?!! Cece
