The spinning begins

~ The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious. ~
Marcus Aurelius

Well hello.....again......my friends. After a substantial break from the "other" blog i begin again anew. Had to be done.
So i have these dreams..well illusions really. There i am with the Sunday ads scanning through and my eyes settle on all the boxes, racks , hooks and anything else meant to assure organization. I start having ridiculous thoughts of my garage door rolling up and revealing inside an amazing cubicle of wall to wall organization. Boxes of Christmas ornaments neatly labeled, bikes hung with care. Tools and bike helmets all having just the perfect place to call home. My eyes glaze over....i can almost see it, ill start today, right this minute, yes, Target here i come. These illusions are quickly shattered by a ear piercing scream...something about he took this, she grabbed my...where is the......
The day wears on...and as my imaginary bedtime nears and i go to check and lock all the doors , i open the door that leads into the garage scan it quickly , sigh and close and lock the door.
I really thought this through. That i would start this blog with just such a story. Its a glimpse, a taste of my crazy disorganized chaotic wishful life. But as is my garage, a life well lived in.
But i aspire, oh do i aspire. Its going to happen for me one day. Im going to own 35 sterilite boxes all neatly placed in a row, on large sweeping shelving systems...and THEN, when the garage is finally done, ill have it all. Right? Well wont I? hmmmm :)
So what is driving this bizarre obsession. oh so many many things. My mother. The other Dawn, the one living in some alternate universe (gotta keep up with myself ya know) ,my husband. My life.
From this idea it launches a thousand blog entries, or at least a few. I mean have you ever stopped to think about what drives you. What the heck are you burning for fuel and the why? We are all driven by one thing, ok 2, love and acceptance.
I know a organized garage= love and acceptance? Somewhere in me it does. And that's OK , it really is.
The good news is the first entry is logged now. Well begun is half done.
Goodnight all. S.O.T.D. (scripture of the day)
