I think you will find life becoming less complicated and more fulfilling if you stick with your commitment. I've found it is not easy to always be intentional. It seems so much easier to just drift and react to things that happen in our life. I lived that way for many years, not consciously, but nevertheless without any intention. Once I discovered my purpose and make the commitment to live on purpose, I found much more meaning, fulfilment, and impact in everything I do. Looking forward to hearing more from you about this as the year progresses.<br /><br />Richard Yadon<br />http://www.RichardYadon.comRichard Yadonhttp://www.richardyadon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14734790.post-12724072976695644432018-01-19T08:21:05.099-05:002018-01-19T08:21:05.099-05:00Looks great, it's amazing how just a few minut...Looks great, it's amazing how just a few minutes here and there make such a big difference. I started setting small goals to clean each area, sometimes it is just picking up the clutter and then doing the actual cleaning part at another time. Also set a goal at the end of last year to declutter each room (including closets, attic & basement), it may take me all this year to complete but the areas that I have done have helped me add time to my day, I no longer waste time searching for thing in that area.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939855614446303349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14734790.post-85568460050831331752018-01-18T08:39:12.173-05:002018-01-18T08:39:12.173-05:00I love your kitchen, both before and after!

I don't even know what zone I am supposed to be in this week though.... <br /><br />I like to clear off the surfaces as well. I start to feel anxious when I let it go to long.Debbie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610913789958390802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14734790.post-88986260889293696772018-01-17T19:33:55.997-05:002018-01-17T19:33:55.997-05:00I had a cleaning routine before my grands came alo...I had a cleaning routine before my grands came along, now I just do it as I can.

My goal is to keep it cleaned up this year. So far, so good! Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547001714523524390noreply@blogger.com
