The Blessing of a Finished Job

So, you remember how I had this great urge in the month of June to clean house? And I had a really good start, working methodically from room to room? Well, life happened and other things grabbed my attention and purging got put to the side. Now I have a half cleaned out house, boxes and bags everywhere and no motivation to finish. It feels like I’m stuck between organizational cleanliness and the energy I don’t have to finish. Feels like. But not truth. Truth is, I just don’t WANT to put out the energy it would take to finish. I’d rather complain. And moan. And sigh.

So, what’s the lesson here? You decide. Is it, I should have kept my eye on the goal and completed the task from the beginning? Is it, I should ignore my feelings, get over myself and just do it? Is it, I should have enlisted help so I would not get overwhelmed? Is there no lesson at all? Or a bit of all the lessons tied up in one? Whatever the lesson, there is definitely something to be said for a finished job. There is such blessing in not only being able to complete a task, but to have it done; to be on the other side of finished-ness, and enjoying it.

Here’s to the finished task. Here’s to getting the job done. May you have more success than me. :-)
