With Daylight Savings Time starting this Sunday morning, – YIKES! – it seems very appropriate to talk about the lack of sleep most of us experience. The zombie shows are so popular because most of us are walking zombies ourselves & we see ourselves in those shows.
The beginning of each year
Starts the toy making again
More children’s gifts to create
No vacation Elves can extend
With so very much to do
And with precious little time
Work must be shared
Tasks must be combined
In the home of Mrs. Claus
Every guest is made welcome
She takes the greatest care
To comfort the wearisome
In each and every guest room
Fresh linens make the beds
Downy towels await for baths
In rooms, a cozy throw in red
Tis the time of year filled with wonder and cheer.
Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza or what you hold dear,
The season for giving, for loving, for sharing
Our hopes in the season made for much caring.
Most of the fun of any holiday season involves the holiday traditions you create with family and friends. They can be classic, dorky, traditional, silly, unusual, new, out-of-the-box or even strange but they are yours. They feel like old friends. Holidays just aren’t the same without them. Even if you are The Groaner in the group, you would miss those traditions if you skipped them.
People often ask me how I got my organizing skill.
Here’s the truth. Those of us who have the gift of organization naturally see patterns. Patterns help us see all the ways to group items. Understanding how to group creates clarity. Clarity helps you prioritize possessions into spaces or To Do’s on a calendar. Those priorities become the patterns on your calendar, planning how to run your errands, how to organize a space/home/office, how to manage a project or just how to get through your To Do list.

This pretty much sums up my mother’s perspective on life. I jokingly refer to her as the Virgin Mary who married James Dean; DorisDay to Elvis Presley; Pollyanna to Fonzie. The woman in my life who really dosen’t focus on the bad in a situation, rather the possibilities.
