I’d just like to wish all of my readers a Merry Christmas. Hopefully you’re keeping things a bit simpler this year.
Most of all, I wanted to remind all of us not to forget the reason we celebrate Christmas. Though we don’t know the exact day, December 25th is the day Christians celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of the world.
So when you’re gathered together with your family,perhaps before you enjoy a Christmas feast, might I suggest reading from the Book of Luke, chapter 2? A bit of reflection may do you some good, on this day of celebration.
So, you’ve decided to start decluttering your life, and start getting rid of stuff. Congratulations! You’ve made a fantastic choice, and I’m certain that you’ll enjoy the change. Surely you’ve gotten started by now, and I hope that you have started small. As I’ve said in the past, it’s important not to overwhelm yourself with huge changes right away – that’s a recipe for disaster.
Maybe you started with a room, a desk, or even just a drawer, and slowly moved on from there. Your task for today is to go back and revisit where you started. That first room or desk – go take a look at it again. Has any clutter crept back in where it doesn’t belong?
It’s ok, don’t freak out. It’s normal for *some* clutter and stuff to find it’s way back in decluttered zones. Especially when you’re still working on figuring things out – it’s going to happen. That said, you have to take care of it. Since the hard work is done, it should only take a few minutes to get things back in tip-top shape. Spend 5 minutes, tidy things up, and enjoy your masterpiece once more.
