Motivation

It is an interesting fact of my character that there is only thing that can motivate me to do that which I know I should and, in fact, desire to do. That one and only thing is "necessity".

I like a clean home...or in my case a clean apartment. I even enjoy the act of cleaning or organizing...once I get down to it. But it's very difficult for me to give myself the little spur of motivation necessary to get myself into a cleaning mode. Today my motivation was the arrival of a new member of the family: a golden retriever/boxer mix in need of a home. I was excited to have her...but first It was definitely very necessary that I clean up a little. Can't have a puppy that big and rambunctious running around with shoes and the like all over the floor.

So I cleaned. I got pretty into it, too. I didn't just move stuff around. I put things back where they belong, found better ways to organize things, moved furniture, even dusted! My apartment looks so much better and I feel so much better in it. I just wish I could motivate myself this much every day...

Oh well...Rome wasn't made in a day.

Further improvement sure to come.
