I have never been much of a "Spring Cleaner".. well or just a cleaner at all for that matter. However, I still like things clean all the same. So in keeping with the season, I am going to do a little fall purging and delegate some of the cleaning tasks to my perfectly capable children. While the unwanted foliage of our beautiful trees are starting to shed their leaves in preparation for a long winter and in anticipation for its new growth and beautiful spring that follows, that's exactly what I am going to do.
Often it's hard to visualize all the exciting things you want to happen when your line of sight is cluttered with so many things that don't belong and take up too much space. It affects not only the space you live in in the physical world, but it equally takes it toll in your mental well being. For example I have I hit a road block with how I want to redo my 4th bedroom/office and I am also at an impasse in my professional career. In both cases I have allowed so much "clutter" to accumulate in their space I can no longer visual what possibilities they hold. Truly the only way to overcome this hurdle is wipe both of their slates clean. Mind you, I won't be erasing people (for the most part) from my life, no more than I am going to host a giant bonfire for "all" of my offices current contents. I will however begin to rearrange and repurpose most of it, and perhaps start a small bonfire for posterity's sake to serve as a reminder. I also won't be tossing any of my "human clutter" counter parts into this said bonfire, but it does go without saying that some people we have allowed into our lives don't belong. This is a difficult thing for me to say, because I believe that we were put on this earth to serve as a beacon of light. I do my very best to do just that as much as I can. But ask yourself, does it make sense for a candle to try and build it's foundation on water? While water serves a purpose to said candle, it is wise to place the water a little further away from itself.
Wish me luck on the great purge & repurpose endeavor... I am certain it's going to be an ongoing process.
