My 16 year old son wanting to actually clean his room and be so gung ho about it, he also wants to paint it. A brighter green then I might have chose, but he wanted me along to help him pick it out because, he said, I'm good at it. That made me smile and I went along with him. Now my husband and him are doing the painting part. I helped with the cleaning and prep.
I'm happy I had the energy. I'm happy that he chose an upbeat color. I'm all around happy. Got my mind off the gloom. Thank you son! :D
