It’s Spring Cleaning time! Something about the emerging from winter and anticipating the summer just makes me want to join the many who also feel driven to clear out, clean up, and get rid of all the stuff. It feels good, but first it feels challenging. Like, where did all this crap come from? How on earth did my tiny space hold it all? And it still feels full! Holy cow!
Just like my programs, I have to divide my goal into workable steps, each one supporting the next. If I want a space just for all the rocks, first I have to define and clear that space. If I want all my clothes to be in drawers or hanging in my closet, I have to remove and donate all the things I haven’t worn in ages in order to make room. It’s all very straightforward — simple, but not easy if I never start it.
This is such a First World problem… I have deep gratitude for my abundance, for being in a position where I can share my excess.
I’m finding places which have’t seem a vacuum in ages, dusting things which never get moved, and just, in general, making room to breathe. It already feels good, and I’ve only just begun. The weather is perfect for being active; the heat went away for a week, and I plan to make use of the comfortable temps.
I’m very grateful for the things which make my life more pleasant, for the books all around me, challenging me to “pick me next!”, for the cat who watches me with great interest (and hides at the first sign of the vacuum). I’m grateful for the hot tub I can relax in when my muscles ask what on earth I’ve been doing to them, and for the time to do all I need to do.
Time to “spring into action”!
