Peace

I suppose all of us would name different things that bring us peace on earth. Inner peace for me starts with earthly things, or actually the lack thereof. I get easily bogged down when I am preoccupied with stuff. So I strive to defocus my life on stuff or to have the necessary stuff in my life organized in a way that I need not occupy my thoughts with it. This is why home organization is of interest to me. I know people who are not very organized that aren’t bothered by such things and I think that is a quality to be commended. Since that is not one of my qualities, I will continue my organizing ways and hopefully help a few people living less than organized lives that are not feeling inner peace as a result.

Having inner peace allows me to be closer to God and to find time in my day to pray or read scripture with my kids or to just spend the time I have in a day towards something that matters. So I find that spending a little time to organize the necessary stuff of life eliminates barriers to the things that matter.
