cleared

Do you have a place in your house where you dump your keys and bag as soon as you get home? Me too.

It’s a big beautiful table and when it’s clear it is expansive and inviting. But the thing is, I tend to drop more than my keys and bag. I also drop my shopping and phone and books and pens and newspaper and anything else I happen to have in my hand when I arrive home.

It is also a dumping ground for everyone else in the house. So it always seems to be overflowing with a weird assortment of baby socks and bolts and manuals and diaries and creams. It drives me crazy!

I decided this afternoon that I need a New System [as readers of This Little Blog would know: I love me a Good System]. But in the meantime, I have cleared and cleaned and it looks super. And I feel a whole lot calmer.

It’s amazing how just a small amount of house-keeping [whether external or internal] can make a huge amount of difference to how you feel.
