so, has the sloth become the mammoth yet?

hope you woke up to some sunshine and hot chocolate today, Xie and that you're able to just be...

Cris...I thought of you last Sunday...went to one of my favorite churches in Chicago and the Pastor talked about what he thought was the worst sin of all......it was sloth. The people sitting next to us wondered why I giggled.

All I can say is ... Well Done!

I'm a bit of a hermit crab myself.

Where i work [homeless hostel]

BEING UNTIDY GOES WITH THE TERRITORY for most new residents..

I tell them their room reflects to me the state of their mind.......if its untidy/cluttered they usually are unorganised, and lack pride or ambition

when its clean they are often happy and life looks less of a struggle...personal problems appear easier to address..............and life seems OK

When they dint empty their rubbish..its like storing baggage.....dump it..
i say you don't need it any more..........

There are times a room just looks lived in .........thats stability.....comfort.

Then there's personal touches pictures/posters......thats hope...........thats making the best of what you have and making your mark on it.


Whilst people stay here they will go through most if not all of the above phases.......................will they recall what i said

.......no...not at first...but gentle reminders will get through.............and most accept in the end that their room is a window to their state of mind..........................and a tidy lived in one..................is much healthier in the long run...

BABY STEPS................baby steps

Oh I pray that my closets are not a window on the state of my mind!

((((David))) gentle reminders...that's lovely. *grin

A very beautiful insight that is born of experience. I can see it in my life. I wouldn't want anyone to see my office right now....

Say it ain't so!

My closet has color cordinated hangers. Clothes are grouped and hung from darks to lights. Nothing is ever out of place.

It's ok Curious, I love you anyway.

so Curious...............

you like to be precise........mmmmmmmmmmmm possible Virgo.

you are regimented and well organised.......very self disciplined yet a hint of OCD

You don't like change and become unsettled around those who dont think like you..do................ and then clean more...........not always healthy..........

I Still think your great though

David

Nope..don't clean more. There is a method to my madness. My closet stays clean. I never have to even think about where to put stuff. Or find it in the dark. I['m really in trouble if someone else puts my clothes away.

Years of being a single mom. Made my getting ready to work faster. The kids closets..those are theirs. They can spend hours trying to find something. I will admit to semi organizing hubby's. He has more clothes that any man I ever met. Now atleast his pants aren't hung up in the middle of shirts. But color wise...nah. It would take me a month, he has so much.

Now,...you notice..I did not mention my desk. I do know what is in each pile. I don't file daily or weekly.

Sagitarious Not that i have clue what it's traits are.

I think you are pretty great too. Need your closet organized?
