Many of you probably don't need to read this post but I bet there are a few who might! Have you ever felt like you were running "behind the ball" of life more times than not rather than being ahead of it? Some may be so organized that even Christmas decorating is done before Thanksgiving is over...there is probably a word for this but I won't get into that!!
Lately, I have been trying real hard to get ahead of the ballgame in several areas. Since I didn't get my taxes for 2021 completed until October I have been hard at putting things in order rather than waiting until the last minute. It works! All that's left is December's deductions and then wait for the 1099's or whatever comes at the end of the year.
Another area that just got a good organizing was my pantry shelves! With the help of a friend who loves organizing, they now get a regular pause to just gaze at how nice they look!
The last area is my prayer life. Yes, even that begins to take a back seat with situations that throw a curve ball. With the recommendation from a couple of sources I have several prayer books with a variety of readings and reflections I can use to stay on track with the time of year and church calendar. It sure helps.
You know, we have all sorts of "assists" in our life. Think of it: a cane, wash machine, electricity, car washes,...so why not use other assists in other areas? Why not find someone to help with the clutter...all kinds of clutter. Physical, emotional and spiritual.
Sometimes we just need the resource of another person. That person might have an idea that could offer an immense helpful way to assist. It sure helps! Where is your clutter in life and what resource might help you?
