Corners

I am going to be honest with you, I am not the most organized person - at least with stuff. I tend to lose things easily if I don't make an effort to keep it somewhere, and I tend to clutter things, and not put things back to where they are supposed to be. Now that being said, I do clean, but it comes with my cleaning modes - where the cleaning becomes a 16-36 hours job, and the place is then spotless! Today, was the start of such cleaning modes. I have just returned home recently from vacation, and it seems like my place has become a disaster zone of some sort. I have had to sleep downstairs in the basement a couple of times, because my bed was no longer a bed but a composting area for much of my things. So, today, despite my earlier resentment to cleaning and organizing stuff, I started to fold clothes (and discard old ones) and re-organize all of my souvenirs and other random things (while watching pride and prejudice, thank you Jane Austen for giving me entertainment during these painful and dull times). Least to say, I've managed to clean off stuff from my bed and one corner of my room. Yes, this is an achievement for me. The bar isn't high, but I'd like to think it is progress. My non-organization, have caused the rest of the house, to have traces of me (that is what my parents say anyways). Regardless, I must say as I was cleaning today, I thought about all the other corners of my life (not just talking literally now, but figuratively), how it may need to be cleaned, changed, or just different. My relationship with God, with friends, my healthy lifestyle, my education and career, and my other life goals comes to mind. But like today, I could only clean one corner of room. Time and energy constraints have rendered that outcome and I think many times its the same with our lives. So, my thoughts, why not focus one thing at a time?
