Embracing each step...

Today, after I took Emma to school, I walked into my kitchen and smelled some food that had to go!  I didn't know what it was, and so I did a quick scan and took out the fruit that had gone sour.  When this happens, I know it's also time to do a deep clean.  However, I also knew that I wanted to go through the rest of the clothes upstairs that have been donated to me.  I wanted to sort... what am I keeping and what am I going to donate?  I know that in order to do this well, I have to try things on.  So, I tried on the things that caught my eye.  New patterns, new colors, bright and cheery.

I came downstairs to greet more important things (+ two wonderful children) today.  So, the groceries will come, the cleaning will come, the exercise will come... and instead of getting frustrated by what isn't yet - I will embrace each and every beautiful step!  WITH GREAT JOY AT THAT!!!!  I did order a workout video today.  Hooray!

Ha,ha,ha, this reminds me of one of the first years of our marriage Angela.
Every time I walked into the storageroom I smelled something awfull but couldn't find the source.
After a few days it was unbearable to enter that room so I had to search every corner of it to solve this terrible smelling problem and yes, finally I discovered that I had left a few weeks before 1 kilo of spinach on top of a cupboard, I guess you can imagine the smell ...
Good luck with your cleaningplans ;- )))

Thanks for the laugh Corrie. Yes, I can imagine the spinach. My bad fruit was from an over ambitious orange purchase. I bought a big box of these amazing oranges, but my kids decided they hated the texture, and Adriaan isn't a fan either. So, it was me and a whole box of oranges. I gave oranges to every friend who came by, but at the end of the box, about five went sour, really sour. I think I've maxed out on oranges for a few weeks. ;-)
