Day 285: Whistle While I Work

Happy May! I didn’t do so well on my April Monthly challenge. Turns out taking pictures every day when you’re stuck in an office with too much to do, is good in theory, but not necessarily in practice. Maybe I’ll continue trying to take a picture every couple days just to remind myself to be grateful for the world around me.

For the next challenge the month of May means spring cleaning! So for the rest of the month, I’ll try to do a little cleaning and tidying to put my life in order. I’ve been holding on to a lot of random stuff out of laziness and lack of time, so this month I want to filter through all the things I actually need and use.

I’ve already cleaned out a few pieces from my closet I haven’t worn in forever, and donated them to goodwill. Now I just have to go deeper into my closet and get rid of things I’m more sentimental of. (That’s the hard part.)

Hopefully by the end of the month everything will be appropriately tidy and actually in rotation of use.

Until tomorrow.

80 days to go. (Has the year really gone by so quickly? I guess it has.)

Day 182: Gratitude 22

Gratitude of the Day: Clean Spaces

I am not a tidy person. I try my best, but I just have a hard time keeping spaces clean and clutter free. Also, to clarify, I’m not dirty in that I clean everything regularly, but every place just seems to accumulate things wether it be bits and bobbles on my dresser top or that pile of clothing on my desk chair. When I do manage to clear off a space and it’s tidy (for me) it’s SO NICE! I love having the clear spaces since it feels like I have my life more together and my mind feels less cluttered. (Less to pay attention to?)

Since I like it so much I really should strive to keep things tidier, but for now I will just savor my small accomplishment of keeping my dresser top clear. Thanks me! 🙂

Until tomorrow
