Take writing thank you notes, for example, for my birthday gifts.
Instead of buying a package of little tank you notes and jotting them
off, and getting back to work, I "have" to paint hand made ones for
each person individually so they will feel truly thanked and
cherished.
It's a slow process and keeps me from FIRST THINGS FIRST--doing my
work, cleaning etc.
But then I get confused about first things. Could creativity and
expressions of love sometimes actually BE the first thing?
When am I procrastinating and when am I doing something important.
Is blogging this, and asking this question just another procrastination?
Perhaps. But the blog could use a little picture. And I am
celebrating another small success--one thank you note completed.
Unfortunately, the mailman came JUST as I was finishing it
(literally!), so it will have to wait until tomorrow to go out.
I have a different way of expressing KISS: Keep it simple, SWEETIE! I can express it very nicely, but can I DO it? Aye, that is the question.

Handmade personalized thank you notes! Wow!....
Hmm... should I feel guilty?
That could be seen as a bit obsessive, though, but REALLY sweet ;]
But then again, showing love is more important than a clean house, for me. Unless a clean house is showing love, too. I live alone, so what do I know.
Sorry, I'm not much help.
WAHN! I AM obsessive--ridiculously so.
BUT, yeah, I DON'T live alone (Though I DID, for twenty years, before I met Keith!) and I have to consider the other people. And welcoming atmosphere for family and friends to visit. AK.
Like I said, hard time prioritizing.
