At first glance, James and I don't have much in common. He is quiet, I am loud. I talk, he listens. He watches sports, I could care less. His focus is on keeping the kitchen and living room clean, I prefer starting with the bed room and bathroom. We do share at least one thing. A deep love for each other.
After a good start in the morning and an appointment at 10 am (you know how I feel about those on a Monday), things started getting slow and my motivation took a nap somewhere in a corner.
By 4 pm I had enough and wanted to give up. I forced myself to clear a few things off the kitchen table. Than a thought struck me. "If I finish cleaning off the table, James would be so happy." I decided to do it for him. Because I love him and because I like to see him happy. Obviously I only love him enough for half of the kitchen....No. I love him enough for the whole kitchen, I simply ran out of time and had to go to yet another appointment on a Monday.
Love is a miracle drug. It even makes me clean a kitchen! I think I will let this be my motivation more often!
Surface of the day: counter top
5 a day: about 30 magazines and around 20 recipes
Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!
