Clearing out the Junk

This week has started out as a week dedicated to clearing out the junk. It is amazing how much junk my family has kept. My mother realized that once you put your mind to something, the impossible tasks can become doable. For instance, redecorating cannot happen until all the junk has been cleared out. So guess what we were doing all day yesterday.. you guessed it clearing out the mess, folding clothes, buying dressers/organizers, vaccuming, dusting, and throwing things out and of course recycling or giving away things. It took all day and we worked ourselves to the bone. On one hand, I was frustrated that it was so messy in the first place. However, once everything started to get cleaner and more organized I felt relieved.
Now I am cleaning everything all the time, it has become a way of life for me, one that is clean, without clutter. For once, I feel like this is something I can control. So its my mission to try to keep things under control, clean, and organized. I will try...
