I would like to live in one of those Japanese-style houses where nothing is visible except a spare flower arrangement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513058592327921546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563921876019154209.post-90555431950943258812010-11-10T20:15:00.007-05:002010-11-10T20:15:00.007-05:00Oh I loved this read, and really relate to your co...Oh I loved this read, and really relate to your comment that it's "Not rocket science, but an inherently pleasurable task making things neat."<br /><br />I love neatness, and now that I'm retired, can see that the extra time even makes is more enjoyable. Keeping the silverware drawer neat. Knowing where every pot and pan goes at well as the pantry.<br /><br />To me, it just makes life simple when you are organized.<br /><br />I clean as I go (cooking/baking) and by the time the item is in the oven, the kitchen is clean. <br /><br />Wish we could just chat over tea, as I would love to pick your brain for more of your ideas on "Simple".<br /><br />Love and Hugs<br />WandaWandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563921876019154209.post-26502724384712324282010-11-10T16:07:22.710-05:002010-11-10T16:07:22.710-05:00ah, the eternal ability to focus - I am constantly...ah, the eternal ability to focus - I am constantly trying to get my second graders to see the value in this.
