Tonight I'm grateful for organizational urges. They don't come to me very often. Well, that's not true, actually. They come to me quite often ... but they whiz by before I can grab hold.
Recently, however, I've been watching for them and anticipating, so I can latch on before they disappear. For the last couple of months, we've taken a few hours out of our weekends to pick one small section of the house and organize it. Today it was the office, and it got to be a bigger job than I had planned. I ended up going through piles of stuff, recycling a bunch of junk, putting some in the Goodwill box, and even organizing drawers.
I'm dirty and tired, but I feel refreshed. I can open my drawers and see what supposed to be in there!
Now, let's see how long the organization lasts.

Congratulations! It is a great feeling. You can actually recreate that feeling of having accomplished a lot by having regular family "Flying" to borrow from the FlyLady. Just 15 mins, set a timer, and everyone chooses a very small Fly Zone to tidy up. Slowly but surely (like by the time the kids graduate) the gargantuan tasks get more manageable :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea of a weekly gratitude post. I need to figure a way to incorporate it into my own blog without being a blatant copycat! Hmmm... "Monday's Gratitude Post"? Maybe not. I'll keep thinking.
