Add love

So, I haven't been able to keep things clean around here. Clutter's run amuck and the kitchen is always an eyesore. Well, I finally realized that with this attitude, I'd always have a cluttered space and a messy kitchen.

No, I didn't change my attitude about doing the dishes, nor do I suddenly like to declutter and clean windows (well, I've always liked to declutter).

So, what's my secret, you ask. Well, love, of course. Just think of the end results and add love. I think about how much I love having a clean kitchen and I don't realize that I've done the dishes or wiped down the counters with no effort. I think of how much I want my daughter to be happy and healthy and suddenly it's no big deal that I've had thrush for well over a year.

When you're faced with that thing that you really don't want to do, think of how you'll feel to have it done and you'll find new enthusiasm for doing it. Or you'll realize that you don't really want to do it after all, which is another entry.
