Hitting Reset/ cleaning out the closets.

I cannot believe my last post was my mother's death. I did not do this on purpose and it just goes to show I have grieved her more than I thought.  I felt like I didn't grieve her death correctly because I was not a blubbering mess, in fact I barely cried at all. I think I shed more tears this Mother's Day and  during the Holidays then I did during her whole funeral. I guess for me grieving is more of a "slow burn" than a quick process.

I am currently  in the process of "Hitting The Reset Button" on my life and cleaning out all the junk both physically and emotionally. I have started with my office and am in the process of cleaning and organizing everything. It is amazing how much junk accumulates in closets and drawers and it is very liberating to throw it out. I am keeping objects that hold good memories and throwing out or burning any that are associated with the bad or considered clutter. I'm not sure if "Hitting Reset" is an accurate analogy but this is more of a cleansing process for me. For Mother's Day I had a bonfire and burned some of her things that I associate with the cancer and death.

I also have come to the realization that in order to call myself a professional my office and space should reflect that so this is another reason for the cleaning.

And not to forget,  I am still on a mission of 40lbs down by age 40 so this is also part of this process.

Once my office is complete in the next few days I will post some photos.

Good for you Eric.

Maybe it's not a reset, but more of a software upgrade... where you take what's good from the old and add better on top of that foundation.
