Clutter




"When I cannot bear outer pressures anymore, I begin to put in order my belongings. As if unable to organize and control my life, I seek to exert this on the world of objects." - Anais Nin, The Diary Of Anais Nin

Drowning in a sea of clutter. Overstatement yes, but that is how I feel. Summer time has begun and out pops the "to do" lists. Things I want to accomplish, things I want to learn, things to get rid off, and things to be organized.

Things, Things, Things!!!!

Feeling overwhelmed, YES!
I feel like all these things are strangling me. Top priority is cleaning out my house and learning to live the life of a neat freak. I have such bad messy habits. Toss a sweater here, clunk a shoe here, and pat rack things everywhere.

Sometimes its like I have been awakened from a trance. I sap out of it to discover my house and various areas have been discombobulated with collected items. I always think to myself, how does get this way? I will make this place spotless only to find a month later it has been over taken by new clutter. This process is exhausting.

Maybe the problem deals with laziness. Using the constant phrase of I will take care of it tomorrow or its not that bad.... Then its too late, it has gotten out of hand. I guess I am used to living alone and nobody had to deal with these issues except for me. Now that I have my significant other living in my castle, I can no longer get by with my misdeeds of patrackery... Did I say I also like to make up words as well.

Either way I never stated to be perfect, I am a work in progress.
I will try to be neater, cleaner, and more organized. I said try....

Until then it’s a day-by-day process.... Each day at a time....
