Kavsg,

I am a “neat freak” too! I truly believe a clean, clutter-free environment positively affects our minds.

And, oh!, I remember just watching my little ones sleep—I still do despite the fact that they’re now full grown. Seeing those we love in peaceful moments is beautiful to behold.

And what I’ve learned about writing is that the process is what I enjoy. I used to think that other people needed to find value or interest in it for it to be worthy. Now I know that I’m the one who cherishes it while I’m writing.

Thanks for these wonderful words, and I agree with you about acknowledgement. I suspect a lot of people would be a little happier if they felt acknowledged and listened to and heard.

Smiles!
