Several things have me breathing more freely these last couple days:
My Christmas decorations are away!!! Yeah!!! I still need to freecycle what we are getting rid of but I feel like I lost a whole lot of clutter (that’s a four-letter word in my vocabulary LOL) just by taking down the tree and the rest of the decorations.
I decluttered my bedroom!!! Do I hear another – Yeah!!! If memory serves, Flylady says that after a clean kitchen sink, a clean bedroom is one of the most important things you can do for your sanity. There is a peace that comes from going to bed in a room that isn’t a defacto junk room.
And finally, I took the children for a walk at the local Arboretum for some much needed fresh air, exercise and interaction with nature. This is something we did regularly a while back but have been scared away by ticks. I know that may sound lame but in our area they really spread a lot of nasty diseases, not the least of which is Lyme’s disease. But I’ve decided that we can’t live in a bubble. I feel like all our moods improved 200% just by spending an hour outside. Charlotte Mason, in advocating for a person’s DAILY need for fresh air and interaction with nature, was truly a visionary.
