Cleaning.

We’ve been doing a kitchen remodel and for the first time in weeks, we are finally getting the house clean. Cleaner.

Cleaning itself actually can stress me out–but once I’m done, it feels like a weight has been lifted off me.

I think our surroundings affect us a lot more than we realize. If my house is in chaos, my mind is often in chaos.

So I clean up, and I feel better. I don’t like cleaning up, but I need to remind myself that the end is worth it.
