How many of my friends and clients are fully hydrated- very few. Drinking water and getting enough sleep are rare happenings. Did you know hydration and clutter clearing go together like 2 peas in a pod? As you probably already know, downsizing requires all the brain cells, energy and stamina we can get, right? Being hydrated is better than all the lotions and potions you can buy. Water takes up very little space and yet gives you so much in return.

This was confirmed when I had a DEXA scan. Well shoot! How did this happen? I run, walk and move a lot. Who knew, a trip to the dentist would take me on this journey. After some exceptionally strong and frustrating feelings, I decided, I can't go back, so what is possible from here? I did what I do, I started researching and experimenting.

I compost. Composting is, in my mind, better- more interesting. It's a time and place to ponder, explore, reflect, think on paper, air frustrations, fears, gifts, life happenings. It's like compost- life compost. I add to the pile, stir and let decomposition happen. If I do it right black gold compost happens. Composting- active pondering of life.

There are so many kinds. From the, "oh that's beautiful", to beauty that catches your breath. What stops you in your tracks? Last week, my mom and I got to go play and explore Victoria BC and the Butchart Gardens. At the Butchart Gardens there were millions of flowers. I have no idea who and how they plant so many annuals! Who deadheads and plants all these flowers!!? This is a deeply planned and executed garden.

No matter who you are, some sort of cleaning is a daily traveling partner. I think of my grandparents how they used their daily chores as meditation- not that they called it meditation. But it was. It was a daily activity that was necessary for life to flow. A place of repeated activity. The same things over and over again. An ongoing list of chores. And yet, I don't remember hearing my grandparents complain.
