Each step is closer to my final goal and I have to remember that it can't all be done in one day. This tends to be a major challenge for me. I want things perfect and if I can't make them perfect then I get overwhelmed and quit.
Today I did a small thing. I washed a few doors, a few walls, and the kitchen chairs. All things that had been bugging me, it is amazing what kids manage to dirty. Its funny how you can tell the height of each of your kids by the dirty line up the wall stairs. You can see where they let go of the stair rail because it is 10 shades lighter.
And as I sit here writing about the walls I cleaned I see my daughter tying knots around the rail I just cleaned. This is a never ending and often thankless job, but somehow, someday I will find the joy in the process of cleaning my home.
Until then I will take it one day and one small step at a time!
