For whatever reason, I have trouble doing things slow and gradual.  When I set my mind to do something, I want it all done RIGHTNOW!  (and yes, that really is said/ spelled with no spaces in it.  I don’t have time for spaces in rightnow).  in nature, slow and steady is the norm.  It takes many years for an acorn to grow into an oak tree.  Gradal wearing away by water created the Grand Canyon.  A gentle breeze cools the air and helps pollinate the flowers.  Then there is the hurricane. It still clears the air, but all the trees get knocked over in the process.  It’s kind of the same thing when i decide to declutter–The room may end up clean, but the house is a disaster for a while.

I started my childproofing project in the bathroom.  After clearing out everything that I didn’t need in there, I had 2 bins of stuff that I still need to find a home for.  The bathroom has that just-moved-out echoey sound.  I’m okay with that.

This is the first time that I have set out to organize and actually allowed myself to spend some money on organiztional tools.  In the bathroom I got baskets and drawer dividers to my heart’s content.

The “new home” boxes are sitting in the kitchen waiting until I can find a new home for those items.  Wonder how much of that I actually need to keep?
