Ducks in a Row


In my experience, life goes much more smoothly when everything has a place. Things are easier to find, not to mention the aesthetics of a well-ordered room or house. Some people like life on the edge. When you have to scramble and hunt for what you need it does give one a feeling of excitement, but there is an excitement that can be found in organizing as well. For instance, my son recently found a pay check while organizing his stack of papers from college! Cleaning and organizing the storeroom can be very stimulating. It is a walk down memory lane! You can hold on to the memories while tossing out no longer needed things. Or you can find a very special place for those mementos. How to decide whether or not to throw something away? Remember that you live in the present and decide what is needed for you and your family to be comfortable and happy in the here and now. Clutter makes life difficult. It makes the home feel chaotic and unmanageable. Organization creates an atmosphere of comfort, security, and competence. Yes, I do like my ducks all in a row.

Hmmm... I'm not convinced. But then I am the world's messiest person, so that's not really surprising.
