One of the things I like to do at the first of the year is clean things up...make an effort to get organized so I can start the year with a clue. The problem is there are two places in my world which need to be cleaned up---my work space and my home space. Together they are a pretty big mouthful. but the good news is that I get two shots at them!
November 30 is the first Sunday of the season of Advent in the life of the church and it is sort of considered to be a new year's day of sorts. That means I can spend this week cleaning my office and then wait a month before I tackle my desk here at the house! My office looks sort of like an explosion in a box factory. I have been accumulating boxes in anticipation of the coming move and they sort of got out of control. Then there is my two email boxes and the paper chaos known as my desk...I worked on it some today and at least subdued some of the boxes, but I am not sure tomorrow is going to be enough. I really would like to get it knocked out a bit more.
I suppose I could declare any day to be new year's day, or even better, not let the mess get out of control in the first place, but I have spent my whole life trying to get organized and it hasn't happened yet. There is a great deal of adventure in living in a world where every room is an archaeological dig! And the really good news is that I can throw away the stuff on the bottom of the pile because if it has been that long since I have seen it, I neither need it nor want it!!
So let the boxing, cleaning, and throwing begin...happy new year!
