Zen Housekeeping

I promise, I have nothing profound to say about cleaning house. Except that I love the clean openness of spirit I get when I banish the clutter and sit, as I am now, admiring tidy rows of books, cleared desktop, white walls, a shining floor. Maybe I can’t get “zen” enough to see the act of cleaning house as a fully spiritual experience, but I know what feeds my soul — and a clean office is right up there.

  1. WHEN EVERYTHING IS CLEAN & IN IT’S PLACE, I THINK ALL IS WELL WITH THE WORLD. IT FEELS AS I AM CLENSEING MY MIND OF CLUTTER AS WELL AS MY HOUSE. I JUST WONDER WHY, IF IT MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD , WHY I DON’T DO IT MORE OFTEN?????

  2. I don’t clean house more often because my darn back hurts! I do it anyway, though, and, even if it takes me a week to go through the whole house, and when I’m finished, I have to start over again, there’s some sense of release in knowing that I CAN DO THIS, no matter how long it takes! Sometimes, PATIENCE and FOLLOWING THROUGH are the orders of the day. “Just do it.”

    I love doing housework — especially cleaning. I’m certainly not young, but I get a kick of getting on hands and knees
    to “do” the kitchen and bathroom floors.
    I have a friend who passes along her favorite cleaning products. You’d be
    surprised how many ask me for her list.
    That’s how I discovered Swifters.

  4. Oh, Yes, and, a little tip: Be careful not to “tip” over the bookcase while tidying and cleaning it, or you may discover yourself, legs akimbo, at the bottom of a pile of wooden shelves and words in hardback covers.
