just_passin'_through...

I'm on again and I'll be off again until I become a bit more consistent. I've been, actually, working on getting organized. I've been going through a lot of papers and some clothes. I even went through my various shoe boxes. I came across two pairs of shoes (never been worn) that I've decided to give to extended family. This "just_gettin'_organized" project can be rather daunting at times. I see all this...um, stuff and I'm like NO WAY! let me go sit down. Actually, sometimes you have to go sit down and come back or you may get overwhelmed. You have to keep in mind that sometimes it will get (look) worse before it gets better. This is just part of the process. However, getting organized can be one of the greatest feelings in the world. Trust me....been there before, need to redo that. As you see little bits coming together, (a bed cleared, a closet organized, even a bag full of shredder confetti), you can start to see a new dawn taking shape. You are on your way. Will it be easy? It can be... easier than you imagined. The trick is maintaining said organization. I suggest simply putting one foot in front of the other. Tackle a small area or just small projects and work your way up. Sometimes some areas require a logical approach. In other words, you may have to go through a closet before you go through the clothes on the bed (so you'll have someplace to put them). Don't let it overwhelm you; I have been there and done that as well. At that point, I go sit down, regroup, watch t.v., eat a sandwich, go run an errand, and/or come back to it later with a fresh eye, a fresh perspective, and new energy. I figure if I can do it anybody can. Seriously. So, get up, get to it, I know you can do it! I'm cheering for you and know that I'm doing it too!
