3 days ago the skip on the front lawn was empty... today it's full... and all three cars have a roof over their head!!!
For some that may seem normal or reasonable but for this household it is a unique experience... With 8 people living in our home, the build up of clutter and possessions is constant and seemingly endless. Yet for me, the freedom and lightness I feel when things are ordered and uncluttered is life changing. The weight of disorder lifted, I am free to think, to dream and plan for creativity because there is no longer that constraint of the sorting and discarding that's screaming at me.
I spent today sorting through our 'study' - a room that is the catch all for almost everything. There is a long way to go but it's a good feeling to have uncluttered and sorted even a little bit. Tomorrow piles of paperwork :)
So where is my balance in all of this?... it's finding the harmony between being tidy and organised and the desire to move on to that next exciting project. I guess if I concentrate on being balanced in this way the projects will be much more rewarding; being less hampered by the clutter.
