Clutter

Lately we have been cleaning and organizing our garage. We installed racks that hang from the ceiling for extra storage, bought a large shelf off Craigslist, and gave away a bunch of stuff we don’t need. Slowly the garage is looking like it could actually house a couple of vehicles.

I really can’t stand clutter. But somehow clutter appears everywhere in every corner of our house and our garage, faster than confetti at a birthday party. It probably has something to do with having a family with two small children! It’s difficult to stay on top of the clutter.

When I think about unhealthy food, I get a similar feeling as with clutter. I can’t stand it! But how many times do opportunities appear for me to clutter my body with unhealthy food? It’s constant, like rain in Portland.

I have to stay on top of the game if I want to avoid the unhealthy clutter. It’s like cleaning house. It has to be regularly maintained or it becomes a shambles. I have to guard my breakfast, lunch, and dinner—and in between—if I am going to keep the unhealthy clutter out. If I throw out the junk, and plan out the rest, I’ll have pretty neat results to enjoy.
