Skeleton's in the closet




What is it with the overall great feeling of a clean closet, refridge or newly painted walls? I cannot even begin to explain this "rebirth" until you yourself have experienced it firsthand. We all dread housework, yard work, cleaning, etc...but there is something so gratifying when your all done. It is almost a weight being lifted, making it seem easier to sleep at night.

It is very difficult to maintain a balance of harmony in disarray. The overall feeling of completeness and mental and physical well being are completely out of sync when our home is chaotic. Is there an underlying "skeleton" or burden we need to erase from our being that continues the drive for perfection in a clean surrounding~who knows?

Today Chris and I spent our entire Sunday cleaning out closets, all 3 bathrooms, the refridge, laundry and shampooing the carpets. We even had time to grocery shop for the week, cook dinner, and watch Calliou before bed (all of you with toddlers/preschoolers know what I am talking about)! Whew...we're tired, but look forward to a great week with a clean (less chaotic) house and a new harmonious look on life!!!

~Happy Harmonious Week!
