Cleaning Day

This morning I cleaned out my home office. I re-organized and rearranged. I also threw away a lot of "stuff!" Some of that "stuff" had sat in my office for weeks or months because I thought it was very important...and yet today, it had little or no value for me.

Cleaning and straightening this room made me feel lighter in body and mind and spirit. It was a relief...whew, no more piles of paper and books and folders staring at me saying, "do something!"

Well, this made me think of spiritual house-cleaning. Don't we all have some old thoughts and habits that need to be tossed out? Just like my important things that seemed so valuable in the past, but today are only taking up room in our minds. They may be the cause of our confused thinking and they may be blocking our progress.

How about taking out the garbage in our mind and spirits that gets in the way? It is the clutter and accumulated junk that makes our minds, spirits, and our homes crowded and unpleasant places.

Get rid of that garbage! Enlighten up!

I'm holding the high watch!

I spent the last two days cleaning out my son's closet. It was time for the ritual of getting rid of all the clothes that don't fit to make room for ones that do. He has grown an inch since April. The closet had to be rethought. Things had to be reorganized. He has outgrown things that no longer need space in the closet and has grown to need things we've never had in the closet before. First I had to welcome change before the ideas for what could work better would come. I had to clean the slate and beleive anything was possible. I can really relate with your post today.
Thanks!
