Space for something new….
Clearing the clutter!
The one word that comes to mind lately is excess! I decided to clear the house of clutter and bring broken toys and the like to the dump. When the person in charge saw what I was dumping, he asked me if I was just making space for all the new clutter that would be coming in?! Wasn’t he right? Do we really need everything that comes our way?

I seem to be constantly tidying, sorting, sifting and throwing out. Oh how I long for a clutter free life!! Clutter takes away from my peace of mind. I like it when things are minimal. That is hard to achieve with four children. However from now on I must be more mindful about what I let into the house.
Another incident on excess got me thinking. Although a while back, at the start of January, a shop I regularly go to strategically placed fitness products aimed at those of us who vow to give up excess!! Yes, I am on that health kick now! Isn’t it strange that as I splurge on excess around holiday time, I am already planning to undo the results of that splurge. The shops know this cycle well ahead of time! No wonder we can be challenged. We can go from everything to nothing and look forward to the next fix! I’ve decided to be mindful of all that I consume from here on in. I can’t guarantee that I will remain that way for long but I’ll try my best!!
