Follow Your Bliss

Does anybody get it?

As I continued my quest for order and simplicity today...

I had an epiphany...

An awakening.

I was cleaning out yet another part of my "space"...

Feeling completely overwhelmed...

When it hit me.

THIS... is my life...

When I can't don't want to "deal" with something...

I put it somewhere...

In a closet...

A drawer...

Under the bed...

In the basement.

Anywhere...

So I don't have to "deal" with it.

Wouldn't it be so much easier to "deal" with it NOW...

Instead of waiting until the closet door won't close...

Or the drawer is overflowing...

Or your mind feels like it might explode...

I tried to explain this to my family...

That we (I) need to "deal" with things before they become "undealable".

They just looked at me like I was  nuts...

Babbling on and on about some crazy "Mom thing".

They JUST don't get it...

I guess they can't don't want to "deal" with it!

But I do!

And I am...

And feels good!

Order...

How does one create order in an otherwise disorderly chaotic life?

That is a question that has plagued me for....

FOREVER....

It just isn't something I am...

But I am craving it...

CRAVING it.

So...

I am starting with my "space"....

One part at a time...

Discarding... donating... de-cluttering...

One corner at a time...

It's coming along...

One closet down...

The rest of the house to go...
