Cleanliness IS Next to Godliness!~

I have discovered just this morning there is a reason they say that cleanliness is next to godliness. I have been sick with a pretty bad upper respiratory infection for the last 2-3 weeks. It's amazing how something like that can really beat you down not just physically, but emotionally as well. Yesterday is the first day in about three weeks that I have had any energy at all. I tend to be a bit of a neat freak and being sick, things had gotten so out of order it was making me feel really depressed, so when I got up yesterday morning, I got up with a mission in mind, to get my "castle" back in order and I commenced to doing just that. I started with my daughter's room, which is on one end of our mobile home and worked my way forward. I reorganized her bedroom to hopefully make it easier for her to keep clean, I reorganized her bathroom and cleaned it. I skipped over my office because I knew that was going to take a while, so I saved it for last. I moved on to the living room and cleaned it, then the kitchen and dining area. After I got that done, I did my bedroom, and then I went back to my office.

The office is a task in itself. Whew! I have written time and time again about how I HATE, DETEST, DESPISE paperwork. I had piles and piles of mail, junk mail, sale magazines, etc. to go through. I spent an hour or so sorting. I filed everything that needed filing. I sorted through my bills. Some bills were duplicates, so I kept the most recent and put all the others in my to be shredded box. I also shred any junk mail that has our address or any personal info, so I put all that needed to be shredded in the to be shredded box. I made new folders for things that didn't have its own folder and put it accordingly in my filing cabinet. After I got completely done with all the sorting and filing, etc. I shred all the stuff that needed shredding. Now, all I have left to do is the basic cleaning such as vacumning and dusting and the office will be clean. It already looks soooooooooo much better. I am sooooooooo happy!~

After I get done with the office, I still have my pantry to clean out and my bathroom to clean, but when I get done with all of that, my house will once again be in order. Already it has made a difference in my disposition. I can vouch for the fact that there is indeed truth to the saying cleanliness is next to godliness!~
