21 Days

My 2 cents for today are 

1) back in the 70’s, a researcher suggested that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit (which is actually a myth, it’s more like 2 months according to Forbes) and 

2) Newton's third law of motion; “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” 

These 2 sayings came to me when I was on day 21 of the challenge that I did this month because something strange happened. On day 21, after satisfactorily completing the skating rink on the pond after days of plowing and flooding, my fiancé went to the woodworking shop and decluttered, cleaned & organized the entire building. On day 22, step son comes home from Costco with a huge shelving unit and after removing an old fridge and set it up, he started decluttering, cleaning & organizing the kitchen. Day 23, he does the same to their front porch and then day 24, his girlfriend arrives with paint supplies (they live in a house attached to ours) and now they are decluttering & repainting one of the upstair’s bedrooms. So in conclusion and it is MY conclusion: 21 days MAY have cause and effect, ie cause an effect that can create an equal and SIMILAR reaction.

PS. I did nothing today other than make a new crockpot recipe for supper, pack a suitcase and google information about Cuba. We booked a last minute deal and we leave Friday. Happy early Valentines Day to me. Dishes are still in the sink.
