Challenge for today...

I read a lot of blogs on line and they are always so 

interesting 

or moving

or informative

 or all of the above.

Then I sit down to write a little post and before doing so, 

I read a friends' blog.

Her poetry is beyond beautiful, no matter the topic.

And what was I going to write about------

the mess that I am in. I thought that I would accomplish one small cleaning up item per day. I usually 

begin with my den area, because I am never satisfied with how I have set it up. I dug in, going through 

old cards, old magazines, old drawings...everything that I hadn't looked at or used in a year or more.

'They' say that if you haven't used something in a year then you probably won't use it 'ever'.

I don't really know who 'They' are, but they seem to have a lot of knowledge about a lot of useful, and

useless things. I digress......

It is deciding where to put my books and supplies in order to get at them easily....hah.

What I really need are floor to ceiling wall shelves and cupboards. But since that will never happen, I am

driving myself a little nuts trying to decide where to put what.

I should have left well enough alone, because you know what happens when you start a 'small project'.

It becomes a big one and then it gets bigger, and then you have a mess all over the floor so that 

you can't move, and you haven't a clue how to finish up this one small cleaning project.

I decided to take a break and so I am typing this.

If I end up putting things back in the same place, what will have been the point of all this? I shall have to think
on it a bit. It is mid afternoon, and I shall soon run out of steam so I had better get going.................
I just realized that this small room has 3 walls and an archway. If I were going to put shelves up where would
I put them? There are windows in two of the walls and a door on the other......
That's why I'll never have shelves....
And even if I did have shelves, I would probably still not be satisfied with where to put the wool, books, wood items, frames, empty cans, rocks, shells, CD's, old tapes, microscope, ( I used to look at bugs from
the orchard and berry fields), paints brushes, waterdish, canvases ...... oh dear.
Well, I guess I needn't prolong the inevitable....

Till next time.......
