First, we are tremendously excited to be hosting Jon's sister this upcoming week as she scopes out the place for her family to live! In preparation I decided to get a few things done around the house, as I mentioned before, including containing all our keep-sake memories and various papers we've collected over the past year or so.
We completed that task last night, and I'm shocked by the relief I now have walking into this room. I did not realize how much energy it takes away from you on a daily basis to know there is chaos in your home, and even more so to see it and live with it.
Right now on my left is carpet I haven't seen in months. On my right is more carpet I haven't seen in months. On top of my desk are all the things that were on the carpet. [haha, just joking!] I walk through the kitchen, living room, dining room, and craft area and breathe a sigh of relief. I look out on the balcony and can enjoy the nature rather than looking at the mess. The pile on my desk seems much easier to tackle than it had before, and in general I feel so much more willing to take on new tasks.
Lesson learned? There is no time like the present to put off what you feel like doing tomorrow. It makes today so much better.
