See? it really IS possible! between last night/this morning/and today i worked on my office and got it clean --ALMOST completely. there are still a couple of spots that need work -- see the bottom shelf behind the chair ... but that will come... now the challenge is to see that it REMAINS AT LEAST NEAR to this condition ... for me to be able to work and not lose stuff ... to be able to look around and actually FIND something i'm looking for ... i'm going to be more intentional about sorting through mail when it comes in, and getting rid of the dross as soon as i see it ... not bring it into the house to wind up anywhere OTHER than in the trash can.
