Clarity and self-affirmations.
Today's lightbulb moment, and also, a trait I like about myself and am rather proud of:
To the right - a very pretty case for jewelry? makeup brushes? something girly... that I received as a bridesmaid thank you gift that has sat in its box, unused, for years - because I don't own such brushes, use or know very much about makeup, nor wear jewelry that needs its own case when I travel 🤷🏻♀️. To Mother Hen's chagrin, I just don't care enough about that stuff, and feel like I've gotten by so far (poorly, Mother Hen would say - evidenced by my lack of spouse; am open to good candidates if anyone has nominees...) without it.
To the left: My trusty Craftsman multi-head screwdriver that I have used so much that the plastic cap for the chamber in the handle that holds the heads has broken, leaving me in danger of losing my bits 😕. I have been mulling how I might craft a new cap...
And then I remembered the jewelry/brush case, and it's just the right size!!! Yahoo!! Now I can go and unscrew the shelf in my storage cabinet, and reorganize my stuff, and move on with this and other DIY projects for years to come - independently, for myself, to my exacting standards, without having to rely on external (stereotypically male) help. I'm not great at all parts of adulting, but I think I'm passably good at the fixing/improving the broken household stuff part that women don't get enough credit for, and I am pretty proud of myself for that 😊.
(And, I have a bunch of good women friends who are, and feel, the same - which I think is pretty awesome!)
