Believing

Today I believed myself when I said "I don't have to have a perfectly clean house. It's okay that I have a basket of clothes from two weeks ago that we just pick through because I didn't quite get to that one." My life will go on whether or not my house is clean. What did I do instead with my time? That's what important.

Thank you! I needed this.

Yes, what DID you do instead? Inquiring minds want to know...

Ha ha, I side with Amanda... My first thought was wondering what you did do with your time instead. I have had go through the repetition of this same belief fairly often recently. I look at my kitchen counters full of filthy dishes and simply think to myself, "not tonight" and then go sit down and put my feet up.

Well, I wanted the answer to be "I played with my kids." But really it's more like "I watched TV with James," or "I read a good book." I guess those other things are also worthy of my time.
