I have known for a while now that my room, my home, my mind and basically my whole life is too cluttered - physically, mentally and emotionally. The clutter is starting to make it hard to enjoy life and is exhausting. Don't get me wrong, I am not a candidate for a hoarding reality show or anything. In fact, to most people, things would not look so bad. But it is all just getting to be too much for me. So I decided that it is time for a change. It is time to figure out where I keep losing my spoons.
This is not going to be an easy journey for me. I am not young (pushing 40) and lifetime habits are hard to break. I may not succeed. But I need to try. Because of my health, I will need to make this change in small bits over a long period of time. Some things I try will work and others will not. At times I will feel like I am failing and want to give up. I will need (and know I will get) support from friends and family to keep going. And that is OK. To paraphrase Martin Luther King, you don't need to see the whole staircase to take the first step.
So this is the beginning of my journey to figure out where all my spoons have gone and get them back where they belong. Wish me luck!
P.S. If you are reading this and wondering why I seem to be obsessed with spoons, take a minute to read this. The Spoon Theory. It will not only explain my seeming obsession with spoons but will also give you a true easy to understand idea of what my day to day life is really like.
