Cleanup Sunday

It’s been a nice weekend. The weather has been pretty good this weekend and today it was just gorgeous. I tell you, I appreciate the sun so much now, more than I ever have before. (smile) When I lived back in Georgia, I naturally took the sunny days for granted because they were so plentiful. However, the sunny days are a bit more rationed out here, so I definitely soak them in when they come. (smile) I went outside for a bit to soak it all in and to take a look at my tulips. The red ones will probably shed off tomorrow since they’ve been open for a while, but they have been replaced by some beautiful yellow ones with red stripes that just look so sunny.

After I came inside, I decided to do some cleaning and organizing that has been getting pushed to the side for a while. Brit Boy was watching football (soccer), so I took the time for myself and I plowed through a stack of magazines that have been threatening to hit the floor. (laugh) Interspersed with the magazines were various pieces of paper. I have this habit of writing things down that I want to remember, such as quotes, or story ideas on scraps of paper instead of depositing them directly within my various notebooks. I’m usually a bit of a neat-nik, but this pile was one area that I’ve fallen down on a bit.

Today though, I have turned over a new leaf. (smile) I put a lot of my magazines in the recycling bin and I kept some of them, but now the remaining ones are stacked neatly and have their own home. And my scraps of paper are finally getting catalogued into my notebooks. I tell you, it felt like a weight lifted when I cleaned up my stuff. (smile)

So it was a good cleansing of my pile of paper stuff and I guess that it was a good cleansing of my spiritual stuff ;-) It’s been a good day.
