Cleaning House


Last Week I threw out worrying, it was getting old and in the way. It kept me from being me; I couldn't do things in my own way. I threw out a book on MY PAST (Didn't have time to read it anyway), replaced it with NEW GOALS, started reading it today. I threw out hate and bad memories, (remember how I treasured them so)? I got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too, threw out the one from long ago. I brought in some new books, called I CAN, I WILL, AND I MUST, threw out I might, I think and I ought--you should've seen the dust. I ran across an OLD FRIENDS, I hadn't seen in a while, the memories and laughs we had, you should have seen the pile. They helped me to do some cleaning and added some things themselves like TRUST, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE, Yes, I placed them on the front shelf. I picked up this special thing and placed it at the front door. I FOUND IT- its called PEACE of mind, could you really ask for more? Yes, I've got my house looking nice, it really looks good around the place. For things like Worry and DOUBT, there just isn't any space. It's good to do a little house cleaning, get rid of unnecessary books on the shelf. It sure makes things brighter and cleaner; I recommend you try and see for YOURSELF.
