And I am Not Even Dutch!!

I love a clean house!! I love it when it is first cleaned and smells like lemon Pine sol, lemon oil and bleach! My very sweet and thorough housekeeper and I worked together all day today to do a mindful and deep clean. I loved how we were able to talk but not once did either one of us stop to talk. We worked and talked. Deep cleaning the house was exhausting but important for me. Working or creating in a dirty, cluttered or neglected space feels like I have been handed a used palette and have been charged with creating something using this crusty, already used palette. I much prefer a clean slate. For me, deep cleaning is almost like a form of meditation. I cleaned out the fridge, the oven, I vacuumed out cabinets and cleaned switch plate covers. We scrubbed, polished, dusted, vacuumed and swept everything, and I feel like I can accomplish something now. I no longer have that grumpy, grumbling feeling that there are things I need to do....they are done! Hooray. Now I can move outside and start working on the gardens.....
