15 minutes Joy

Leave a comment

Dear Father

My 15 minutes approach to getting things done around the house is really working.

Monday’s decluttering was targeted at the kitchen store (it’s actually meant to be a pantry but there is a load of stuff, e.g. a generator, in there that I have no idea when we will get rid of).

I did manage to get a full bag of clutter out. it consisted of old paper bags, dusty utensil packaging, broken mop sticks, etc.

That corner of the store is 80% neater now that I have moved out all the useless stuff.

There are still many tasks and chores I dread getting into though. Give me the grace to always say to myself, “15 minutes Joy, you only have to do this for 15 minutes today.”

Amen!

Dear Father,

I do not have much to say than that I got that mattress aired and vacuumed. Although I did not eventually vacuum underneath the bed, at least my mattress is clean now, the burden is less, and I can address underneath the bed some other day.

Before now, due to my idealistic nature, I wouldn’t likely attempt a task if I knew I couldn’t complete it at once. Now, I am learning that progress is more important than perfection. I am learning that half bread is better than none… and that’s why life on earth is a journey.

Your DD,
