This is exactly my experience--many people's, apparently, given the sales on plastic storage bins, calendars and planners! I was thinking about animals that molt, sloughing off the old stuff that's not needed to make room for new. Yours is a more profound thought weaving in the rhythm of Sabbath. Working, resting, slowing, renewing. Beautiful. “…it is as involuntary as sneezing–the urge to start fresh, start new habits, clean the house, reorganize the closets…”

I've never heard it put this way before. I now have a very positive way to consider my day - as I just finished up a much-needed workout and go back to putting old toys in storage boxes! :-) Thank you for encouraging us in this way!

I can beat myself up this time of year wanting us to declutter and refocus......and my kiddos and husband look at me and say, "Again!?" I love the quote you had, "....how natural this process is. It’s how we were created–forgetful creatures, prone to gravitate toward laziness or procrastination unless we cultivate the stamina to revisit goals and recommit to achievement. It’s the cycle of life, the inherent urge to grow, found among every living thing." Ah, there may still be hope today with the guilty feelings and added dash of failure,too. Thanks for the encouragement, Kelly. You hit the nail right on the head!
