“Outer order contributes to inner calm.” – Gretchen Rubin
Step #1 Get my “house” (my car, aka: my material possessions) in order.
Okay, so no matter how many days of spring cleaning I may have (and I don’t have that many – and oddly they only seem to proceed having company over). The last pair of underwear will never be folded and put away. The last dish will never be scrubbed (er, um, placed into the dishwasher) and the floor will never be mopped for the last time. Material organization and upkeep is an ongoing process. I acknowledge that…which makes it easier to realize that this is a habitual, everyday, ongoing task. Nonetheless, when my things (and the baby’s things and the toddler’s things and my husband’s things and my mother-in-law’s things) are finally all tucked away asleep in their bed, I do have a deep seeded sensation of inner calm and confidence.
