I know this might sound strange but I sometimes find happiness while cleaning. I make a list of things to do, put some music on and then get working. I am not sure if I actually like the cleaning part, the feeling of being productive or watching the process of messy to clean.
I do love before and after pictures or shows like Hoarders. I get really stressed out during the messy phase of the show and then feel really great once it is all clean. That leads me to believe that perhaps I like the process or the feeling of being productive and not the actual cleaning part.
I, typically, do all my cleaning before January 1st so it is all ready for the new year. That didn't quite happen this year. I feel like January 2nd is close enough so I scrubbed, cleaned, repacked and organised. My world feels a lot more at peace and ready to take on 2013!
