Lisa's journal this morning prompted this.
I'm finding this site and the people on it more valuable everyday. I don't think I fall into the "hoarder" category exactly, although it runs on my father's side of the family. I have plenty of walkable, sit-able space, but, since my husband left 22 years ago and the kids all moved out, my house has turned into a horror. At first it was because I moved and little got unpacked. Then I immediately had to go to work after being a "stay at home" mom all my life. Then I was old, with weight and medical issues. You see the pattern here? Any excuse will do. Maybe, now that I'm tackling the weight problem, I can start to tackle the house problem as well. Wouldn't it be nice if you COULD teach an old dog new tricks? I would love to spend what is left of my life in beautiful, serene surroundings with the energy to enjoy them.

You are special. Do simple things for yourself that makes you feel special. Feeling good about yourself will help you tackle those things.

I'm somewhat of a clutterbug myself...I tend to avoid cleaning up messes the bigger they get just because I know it will be such a big time investment. One thing you could try is to do some goal-setting (got this from a book on organizing I read once); pick one area of your house, preferably the area that you use the most. It doesn't even have to be a whole room. Give yourself a timeline to get that area cleaned up & organized & come up with a plan to get it done. For me it was my desk. Since I work from home, somehow every piece of paper that comes into the house ends up on my desk. I took the time to write down what was working & what was not, what needed to be within easy reach & what could be put away, & ended up making better use of the space that was already there. The theory behind a smaller project like that (vs. cleaning out a basement or something) is that it can be done quickly & since it's used frequently, you'll be constantly reminded of how great it is to have a clean & organized space. I guess I approach my weight loss in the same way by setting small goals to focus on rather than dwelling on the total 116 lbs I'm trying to lose. Lose 116 lbs? I can't do that!!! But I can lose 5. After that I'll worry about the next 5, & the next...anyway, I do agree that after really doing something about my weight, I am more motivated to make other improvements in my life. You deserve to have that beautiful, serene space you want, & you will get there, one step at a time. :)

Johanne...I am WAY to familiar with the clutter!!
I read somewhere to set a time for 10-15 minutes and just get things cleaned in that amount of time!!!
