I remember as a teen -- when I first had my own room -- how it used to get messy every day, and every day I'd have to clean it up, and I made note of what seemed a strange pattern. What seemed strange was how quickly it turned into a mess of clutter.<br /><br />Now, I envy the process you are involved in, and the orderliness and beauty that is unfolding through and to you and your husband. It is special to have a man who will do that with you! It will be years before I will see that kind of freedom around here, but I will try to keep your vision before me. :-)gretchenjoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-33239358841494185462016-01-21T14:13:41.093-07:002016-01-21T14:13:41.093-07:00Hi Brenda, its' funny how we do remember parts...Hi Brenda, its' funny how we do remember parts of our childhood.

Organizing a mess is usually what helps my creative juices flow! In fact, just today I needed to rearrange some things, and once things got in order, it felt so good! You have shared, in a beautiful way, the joy that comes with the sense of satisfaction when things are in order and clean.

I love the story of your little bedroom as a child. It reminds me of my little room and the hours I spent dreaming and creating there. Sweet memories. Tidying up always gives such a feeling of accomplishment and well-being.

I'm slowly working on my sewing/crafting room, a place that can quickly become a real mess. When it's clean, I'm inspired to create. Alas, although I enjoy teaching, this regular work does cut into creative time. Ah well, there are times and seasons for everything. <br />Enjoy sorting through your clobber.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-67368265748918399202016-01-19T17:04:45.086-07:002016-01-19T17:04:45.086-07:00I have often thought of the word clobber since rea...I have often thought of the word clobber since reading your post last week...Definitely seems to be a constant need for keeping it at bay here too..I like stuff...just too much stuff makes stress..balance, balance the ultimate quest! :)) Happy declobbering my friend and thank you for the inspiration!Lucy@heart and hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918596143821300650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-3143242683764230052016-01-19T12:49:57.511-07:002016-01-19T12:49:57.511-07:00Good memories of our cozy bedroom with the south-f...Good memories of our cozy bedroom with the south-facing window!

With each bag that fills to be thrown out, or every box that fills to be given away, my mind becomes clearer and clearer. I'm a huge fan of living in simplicity and keeping the few things we have in order, yet I'm always amazed how clutter creeps in...and how much it weighs us down.<br />Love Spurgeon's quote.

I can relate to standing in front of a shelf or a closet admiring the order and calm of that freshened up space. :)Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-76658048145416065632016-01-19T06:58:53.933-07:002016-01-19T06:58:53.933-07:00Oh, my!

I can identify with so much - from being a collector from an early age to being able to enjoy the result of a freshly sorted space to the Spurgeon quote....<br /><br />Can't wait to see the result of the emerging creative process in you ♥Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.com
