Lately my mind has been swirling with what all I have to do. Sometimes the to-do list and clutter can become overwhelming. I don’t know about you, but this time of year as life gets busy , it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when we look around our homes, taking in all we have to do! If you are like me, you might have growing piles of paper and bills to pay, laundry to be washed, dried and folded, miscellaneous boxes, drawers and closets of junk to sort through, daily meals to prepare, dirty dishes crowding the sink, and a summer calendar full of party invites and places to go. Not to mention, many of us are working to earn a living and don’t have enough hours in the day to keep up on housework.
Often the end the day comes and I look around to see just as much mess and clutter, or worse yet……more than when the day began! I know sometimes I just want to hide out in bed watching Nashville with a big bowl of ice cream. While that might make me feel better in the short term, it’s not going to solve my problems.
