Cleaning and Organization

I have done so much cleaning and organization this week that I have forgotten to read, I think.  I am super excited to announce that I haven’t read a book at all this week, but I have gotten rid of 2 bags of donations as well as some books that have gone back to the bookstore.

I am happy that at least I have done something and that is better than nothing at the end of the day.  I know that I am in between 2 books right now so I will most likely finish those 2 books this week which is good and maybe a 3rd if I am lucky.

I do like winter cleaning a whole lot more than summer cleaning as it just feels more refreshing, and it is a nice quick, brisk walk to the donation centre.  I sometimes like to walk around the donation store to see what they have but I know that I don’t need anything and that there is always a better deal somewhere else.  I mean I need to focus on not having any stuff and letting things go I think which I think is the best way to go about everything.   It never hurts to look though even though I don’t need anything.

I sometimes must wonder how I even got all these things into my home in the first place.  I know that it wasn’t all in one trip, but it still surprises me how I can still be making all these trips out of the house to donate.  It does make me realize that I want to have more experiences because you cannot take that away from me.

I think I am more understanding of what people are saying about experience. 

I feel like if I had less stuff as well, it wouldn’t be a problem to clean or dust, mainly dust my place as I could get it all done in one fowl swoop versus an hour or 2 because I need to move everything off and then back on again.

I still think back to this one video that I once saw that stated or how I interpreted it was that you were sort of taught wrong and that if balance for you is that you ‘binge’ doing something then do that because there will come a time when you are going to binge what you think you should be doing.  You are in the right place at this very moment, and you don’t need to change.  Just go with the flow of what your body is telling you to do.

I think the lesson for today is that it is always better to give than to receive, experience and things that you are going to use are better than just random stuff and do what is best for you at the time.  If I feel like cleaning more right now, then do that followed by some cleaning and maybe even some reading after that!
