☀Voltaire

I have been enjoying reading The Happiness Project, which I got for Christmas

and I found a quote last night that Gretchen Rubin, the author, shared on her site by Voltaire

“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

This has to be one of my personal quotes. It speaks to me. This morning I didn't want to get out of bed because we have a mess that includes a cumulation of messes dating back to before Christmas. The kitchen is cluttered, dishes need to be put away. Our bedroom, my desk, the front room has the mess of the bags we brought back from our trip. It is hard to walk through my kids rooms. The house was too overwhelming. Then I thought, I'll just pick one room. I cleaned my room. The bed is made clothes were sorted and put away, the papers on my desk have been cleared off. I even got rid of a few items in the process and managed a load of laundry. The room is done and there are three large bags on my bed as proof of my labors. Toss, Paper Recycling & Give Away. I feel good about what I got done and not bad about what I didn't get done, for that I have tomorrow.
