I get such great ideas from my blog readers. I just had to share this one with you. You’ll see why after reading it. (This is from a reader who had the Scentsy give away a few weeks ago).

“The other day, Rick was pulling out the last two of our Vlasic, Original Dill pickles when he noticed something floating in the jar. In fact, there were two or three something’s, bobbing around in the pickle juice. Yes, there were flies in our pickle juice.

It’s amazing how something so small can spoil something that otherwise would be so good.

Do you ever feel like the smallest things can ruin something great?
The pickles we had eaten were good, but once we discovered the flies, those last pickles were thrown away. What changed?

It’s so easy to focus our mind’s lens on what is wrong in life. And when we focus on just that, we let it spoil everything else”. (Vlasic was very apologetic and sent them 3 coupons for more pickles, but I bet they check their jars very carefully this time–I know I will).

This got me to thinking about organizing. Have you had a bad experience with organizing so you have just given up? I implore you to not give up. (Did you like that “big” word)? Clearing clutter can make a huge difference in your life and in the life of those around you. Make a goal right now that you are going to clear clutter in one room in your home. Set your timer for 15 minutes and work as fast as you can and then see how clearing clutter made you feel.
