The Before Picture

It Was a Long Process

If you can’t I don’t blame you since that was almost 1 year ago. Precisely 342 days.  We were so close to being done but then I had those 7 boxes of boys clothing that I had to get rid of. I wanted to give it to others who might need them and so I waited and waited forgot over and over again until the day it finally worked out I finally remembered.  Those beloved clothes of my sons found a good home and now other little delightful boys are getting the use of them.

I didn’t want to show you a half finished job, so I didn’t post.  Then it became messy again. Oh, the shame of it all!

But people, I am so happy to tell you it is C.L.E.A.N and in order.

This is the after picture of the above mess. We built shelves up to the ceiling to hold all our camping gear.  We use all of this every year at our hunting camp and parts of it in between. (Did you notice that you can see the floor??)

Isn’t it a beautiful morning? The sun is shining, the birds are singing. (Feeling happy!)

All those waters you see on the left and the food in the middle will be gone this weekend. We’re having youth meetings at our church this weekend with a luncheon here on Saturday.

Did you see it?

You’re wondering what in the world I’m talking about aren’t you?  I’m referring to that gray thing at the bottom left hand side of the picture.

Yes!

It’s the floor.

Oh, the joy of it all!

And another picture of our delightfully organized clutter with lots of gray showing…

Compared to the mess it used to be It feels so restful to me now. No, it’s not picture perfect but hey we celebrate the not so perfect things around here, too. So much so that I may just grab a cup of tea and go and admire it some more.

Have a delightful day and if you want to feel really good, go find a place in your home that needs decluttered or organized and just do it! It may be a small job or a big one but guaranteed you will feel better!

Then grab your cup of tea and celebrate your own progress.
