Messy Houses
Today I might feel guilty and overwhelmed by the messy
house. I may want to give up and throw
my hands in the air. I once saw a sign
that read, “A clean house is a sign of no internet connection,” but I’d
ventured to say it is also a sign of no heartfelt connection.
Let’s be real-relationships are messy. Having family and friends over as well as
raising kids both contribute to a messy home.
But who would want to live in a sterile world—one where there is no
connection at all? Yes, living requires
tidying. But that doesn’t mean you
should feel ashamed of your home each time it becomes unruly
and needs tidying up.
Instead of exclaiming, “Wow, what a mess,” try remembering
how it got that way. Were your children
playing and learning? Did you have a
memorable event with friends or family?
Remembering the real reasons behind the chaos makes you a lot less
stressed out and doesn’t include any guilt associations.
Today I acknowledge
that messy houses usually equal a lot of living being done. I replace any feelings of guilt with waves of
gratitude for the good times had.
