We took all the Christmas decorations down today. My youngest daughter helped remove each ornament and I took the tree to the dumpster. As an adult, I'm more excited about getting the tree out rather than in.
I finally began tackling our kitchen as well. It's been in useful order, but not cleaned to my satisfaction. I do go the extra mile when housekeeping for others.
So, as the New Year approaches, I'm going through the process of elimination. That goes for all the "junk" around me and in my home. I too, will stay away from accumulating "it."
People who have no purpose in my life or who don't recognize any purpose in theirs, must go. I've had some friendships that were burdensome because those individuals didn't want to do right in their own lives. Without even realizing it at the time, I was enabling them by being there for the rescue when called upon.
What I mean by "do right" is taking responsibility for your own actions, attitudes and outcomes. There are so many "adult-babies" living amongst us presently. I am in the process of "growing myself up" as I blog and recognize personal areas of needed improvement/development.
I'm not only cleaning and organizing my home, but my mind, body and spirit as well. As childhood dreams resurface, I feel a strong urge to get ready. Ready for? Everything that has seemed and felt impossible up until "this" point.
Anything really IS possible. Just have to make room for "it."
