Cleaning Spring
Feeling cranky today, for no particular reason, I started cleaning fanatically. I find that when I feel wrong the best thing to do is make things "right" (aka - clean).
This has many purposes.
- It keeps me busy so that I don't interact with other people and make them cranky too.
- I wear myself out.
- I can process emotions well - it keeps my body focused so that my mind can wander where it needs too.
- It turns a negative feeling into a positive act.
- I regain control of my life - or at least this one aspect in it.
- There is just something so satisfying at feeling both tired and having something to prove for all the effort.
So after it was all said in done and I stood under the shower washing the dust off myself, the rest of the city got a shower too. There is no better end to a hot humid cranky evening than a thunder storm.
