Spring Cleaning

Posted 05-19-2009 at 10:16 PM by Devonz  
Well, in my life spring cleaning really has nothing to do with actually cleaning! Living with a 1 year old, who is the happiest when all of her toys, clothes, and books, are strewn about the room, does not lend itself to a very “clean” house. This year spring cleaning means re-prioritizing my life. Having my daughter last year completely changed my outlook on life. I was also laid off, and really needed to determine what I wanted professionally. Initially, I thought I can do any job, as long as I make some money. But, I think that was still post-pregnancy brain! I have never been happy with the status quo. I always want to be improving, reaching for a goal, growing. So I started thinking, all the time, about what my new goals are. My first priority is always my family and my daughter. But, also for our family, I must bring in an income. And, I know for me to be happy, I have to challenge myself professionally. In deciding to open Vintage VA Services, I am able to obtain all of these things. So, here I am a business owner! My attitude towards my life and what I can achieve has changed so much this year. So for me, spring cleaning is a review of what is really important in my life, and making those aspects my priority.

Neat post Devon, and great thoughts on the different ways we might view 'spring cleaning' - it doesn't have to be a literal cleaning spree, but can also be a review of our attitudes toward life, and a refocus on the things that are really important.
