I love to tidy up and see what treasures are in the piles, but I do need to really get rid of a lot of "stuff" so that I am not always confused. Does that make sense?

Absolutely! I'm the same way.

I love all aspects of organization…"everything in it's place & a place for everything", a "schedule" for my day/week as well a a mind & body that is free of "clutter"…..

I think we are individuals who we created in an orderly & organized fashion, so I think we crave organization & order.

But I don't agree that we create chaos in order to receive the payoff of "organizing" it. However, life choices can bring chaos & we organize to bring homeostasis back into play…..

Just my thoughts….

And inspiring thoughts they are, Sherry - thank you!
