I can hardly believe this myself!  What is even wilder is that I have shined my sink for 259 Days!  Made my bed for 253 days!  I also have Swished and Swiped for 259 days.  Where am I going with all of this?  I am hoping you can get where I am today.  I want that for each and every one of you flybabies.

Just because I have been doing all of these habits, is my home perfect?  Of course not!  Why?  Because I am busy living too!  It has felt so wonderful to give up all this perfectionism that has been holding me back.  Perfectionism always wakes up Procrastination and with the two of them working together it can become a disaster.  We freeze up and the layers build and pretty soon we have a thick crust of perfectionism and procrastination all over our home.  In fact the only way out of this I have found is to use a chisel.  My chisel is in the form of Flylady and all the lessons I have learned from her.

Habits become routines.  It really is like taking a rock and chiseling away at it.  Think of all the beautiful things that have become because someone kept chiseling away at it.

What better example of this then none other “Mount Rushmore” in South Dakota!  Four of our Presidents grace this mountain.  We can’t forget about the monument “Crazy Horse” that is still in process.

If we want to enjoy our life, we have to give up our clutter and bless it on to others or if it isn’t worth anything, get rid of it!  And once we give up our clutter, we can easily do a swish and swipe, be able to walk around our bed so we can make it, and stay on top of Mount Washmore..  The less clutter we have in our homes and in our minds, the better our decisions will become.

So many of us want instant gratification.  If you want that, then go shine your sink and let the reflections of you shine through!
Keep Flying!
