so true. I also experienced that link as well; while cleaning up the garden, I felt a desire to make the inner garden spring-ready. And immediately ideas pop up of things you can do, change etc. But once you are a little older, you know that it is best to give those sparkling ideas some time. Then nature will tell you which ideas have a chance and suit you best. So, patience it the key now.
Nothing wrong with being a little messy once in a while ;)
I totally agree, Maryan, and I love this perspective! Messiness can be quite satisfying from time to time, if for no other reason that that sense of satisfaction when you get it cleaned up ;-). My mother used to have a sign in our kitchen (I was one of five children): "My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy."

Your comment is absolutely on the mark, Maryan!

I absolutely love your mother's motto :) It's exactly how the balance in our lives should be
I think so too, Maryan, and I think of it often when I get overwhelmed with things to do.
Very nice, indeed. A lovely voice of reason, faith, and wisdom packaged in easy prose. I look forward to further postings.
Thank you, Susan! It really appreciate your taking the time to read and comment!
