Spring Cleaning
Another season of Aging Gracefully would be "Clean Up."
Spring cleaning is vital in keeping things in order. We can name a few places that can use some help;
Garage
Always the place where everyone puts away unused items. Finding a time to sort through and organize this area would be helpful. You can cash in some unused items by setting up a small yard sale just for a few hours. You can donate some items that family or neighbors can use, or even give to the Goodwill.
Remember that your items can always be recycled for another person's use.
Rooms
There is something wonderful about disinfecting kitchen counters & shelves, bathroom, bedrooms, changing out comforters and replacing pillows. Replacing shelving paper, lights and cleaning out closets.
You
This "disinfect and cleaning" can also be used with our attitudes! Think about some of the areas that we can disinfect. Clean up our vocabulary, disinfect our attitude, wash our thoughts, organize our time, prioritize important things that will make us better.
The importat thing is to begin "spring cleaning" and keep close to your heart the fact that this would be beneficial for everyone you love, even if it means that some form of "work" is involved.
Anything worth its value, will have a price.
A clean home will put out old things and habits, that can be replaced with better.
A clear mind will help to see clearly, and reduce negative thoughts and words.
A changed attitude is always a good place to begin! New ideas and ways can blossom from change.
Don't be afraid to use your broom (sweep away cobwebs still hanging around)
soap & water (to rinse off dirty habits), disinfectant (to remove stinky thinking) and of course, your mop (for a fresh start).
Spring is near!
