One Small Step

 

 

One corner of my kitchen looks exactly as I want it to. It's just one section but enough to give a glimpse of what the room will look like when it's complete, a glimmer of hope when I've been working so hard and seeing so little in the way of progress until now. I'm having to work in stages, one small step at a time, which is painfully tedious, but it's the only way I can manage with so little time on my hands.

I have discovered, however, that although it's a frustratingly slow way of working, it's quite satisfying to watch the project as it unfolds slowly. I am learning to appreciate the process, the small but achievable steps that will take me eventually to the final outcome, recognising that every little thing I do takes me a tiny bit closer. I will get there in the end, although there's still a long way to go, considering the opposite kitchen wall needs replacing after the plasterboard was damaged by a leak. 

Someday, a few weeks, maybe a couple of months, I will look at my work and realise how far I've come. But for now I'll keep plodding on, one step at a time until I get there.
