Because I feel peace and joy descend on me when my environment gets less cluttered and cleaner, it always surprises me that I'm not better about keeping it this way.

Working hard all day, but simultaneously getting happier and happier. I love my little place, especially when I can see the flat surfaces.

Yeah for seeing Flat Surfaces!

One of the many perks of having people over, is getting the house in order. I really enjoy the social part and the food prep part, but I equally enjoy having the deadline to clean up.

Although I realize, as I age, my definition of in order has changed. "In order" use to include dusting everything, cleaning behind/underneath the furniture, getting all clothes in the closet and not just hung on the back of the closet and bathroom door and making everything "pretty". Once I was outside planting flowers along side our walkway at 2 am before we had company around noon. Now, I just want the basics - floors, carpets, kitchen, bathroom and most clutter removed from the socializing space.
