It Has Begun

I have begun the cleaning and organizing for the New Year.

It is a tradition that my Mother instilled in me, her exact words were, "Never let the New Year catch you dirty".  So to that end I clean my house, I organize things and I cull my home of items I no longer need, want or use and donate them.

There is a sense of peace that comes from this process, the order that gets done; it is what I am about: organization, details and cleanliness.

Some may view this as a burden - I view it as a salvation.
