This is a season of tidying. Since I love to be organized with every fiber of my being, that makes this a very pleasant time for me. Of course, cleaning house comes in many forms.

I am scrubbing my actual home from top to bottom over the weekend.

There will be much purging of the unnecessary and extraneous.And hopefully several trips to the thrift store. Perhaps even postings on craigslist.

Windows will be washed, floors scoured, shelves organized and all furniture moved for dusting purposes.Fresh coats of paint and minor repairs are in order. The yard will be reseeded. It’s time to take stock of the pantry and clean out the fridge. All those dark corners in the closets must be cleaned out.

Lest my inner life think it gets away scot-free, here’s a warning to the soul. There will be a “taking stock” of all things emotional and a sweeping out of the cobwebs which cling to the recesses of my heart. Oh yes, this weekend promises to be lots of hard work but I am thrilled already as I think of what every thing will be like on the other side.
