how have I forgotten?

How have I forgotten?

the dust is thick on the surface,
papers lay waiting to be sorted...
most needing to be put in file 13

crumbs, leaves, dust bunnies have found
their home in the corners of
my kitchen floor...

the dining room table is filled
with random things...
a cutting board,
dishes,
school papers

I look around as though awakened
from a haze
and see
that life has happened...
exploded everywhere

This morning, I began in one corner of our home...
de-cluttering,
re-arranging,
putting away,
throwing away...
and I have re-discovered
a love of mine...

making our home
a special place to be...
a place to rest...
to laugh...
and to cry.

How did I ever forget?
