I feel blessed and flattered when I receive comments and messages regarding my blog. They are just the motivation I need to keep this blog going.  That said, I feel worried when I receive messages from readers who call me a super mom or someone who manages everything so perfectly.

I worry because my objective with this blog was never to talk about how perfect everything in my life was/is. My life isn’t perfect. Neither am I.

You see this cake? A friend said it looked like a painting. It does look good, doesn’t it? But if you look closely, you will see that the frosting isn’t of the right consistency. I wasn’t patient enough to wait for it to chill. Why wasn’t I? Because A was watching cartoons and I knew I had ten or maybe fifteen minutes of quiet time. That little girl cannot sit still for long. I'am still learning to work around her active and wild spirit.

I think I'am failing miserably at this blogging business. I think about it every day. I sit in front of my laptop almost every day trying to write. Trying to match words with my thoughts. But I fail. Most often, it is sheer laziness to use my (overworked) brain. Other times, I'am ashamed and embarrassed. Who would read such an ill maintained blog? No, really. 

But then this weekend, at a family gathering, three different people mentioned my blog and one of them asked me why I haven't been writing. I turned pink. It was heart warming to know that there were people who still loved my blog (there are millions of blogs to read after all). So I made a mental note to get a post published this week. 

There are a lot of things I want to write about. Way too many posts in drafts. But today, I would like to talk a bit about being clutter free. You see, although I come across as an organized person (I keep getting that compliment for some reason), I really am not that organized. I do make lists. Most often I keep with it. But then I fall off the wagon. Which is okay. After all, none of us are perfect. But there is a lot of mental clutter that I have to keep dealing with. And these make me distracted and stressed.
