A messy room. Drop and go. That seems to be the routine these days. One more day, it's put on the to-do list. Clean room! Pretty soon it's going to start jumping off the page. Clearly it's not the number one priority. I look around and see this.
6 empty water bottles
4 plastic bags
a laundry basket with clothes piling over
a bed with the sheets at the end and the comforter falling off
jeans on the floor
shoes out of the closet
school supplies everywhere
one drawer open
music not put away
clothes not put away
The best part about a clean room? The way it feels. To not have to worry about cleaning it. A fresh start. New motivation to put things away as soon as you use them. The renewed ability to concentrate. The feeling of being put together. A full wardrobe of clothes to wear! Organization. The spirit that can be felt. It really does make such a difference. So why do we put it off? Why do we find more important things to do? How does it get so messy over and over when the resolve seems so strong to keep it clean? One feeling I don't like is playing catch up. That happens sometimes. When you move, when you get overwhelmed, when you're too busy to be home. I think I'm experiencing a little bit of all of that right now. Waiting for that day when you have t i m e. When the minutes don't seem to go so fast. But waiting for that day is like waiting for a sun that never rises. It will become a priority! But maybe tomorrow...
