Spring Cleaning

So life has been quite much lately (understatement of the century there).
This past week has been a totally sick mix of good and bad. Sadly enough I can’t write about anything that’s happened as I know that lots of people in my family read this and I’m not going to be the one who lets the cat out of the bag on anything that has gone on in the family here nor in my personal life.

I will say this though, the good things that happened this week were so unexpected and totally out of this world that I can’t even begin to comprehend my luck with them. The bad things that happened were totally expected and I really honestly have nothing to say but “I told ya’ll so.” Heh.

This evening has been the first time in awhile that I’ve been able to sit down with some “me” time…and I honestly didn’t know what else to do but come here and try to dump my brain as much as I could beings that I can’t actually out and out say anything about the events of the week.

Spring is coming to my little corner of the desert, it feels more like summer but either way I’m loving it to death. I’ve begun the ever hated task of Spring Cleaning and whatnot, which has me thinking…

When spring comes on most people start to de-clutter their houses, toss out old clothes and get the winter icky air out. And I was thinking during that process do people ever think about Spring Cleaning their relationships? I know that I’m long overdue to tidy up my personal relationships with quite a few people. There are folks in my life that I really ought to cut ties with and some that I need to bring back to me as I’ve let the relationship slide away over time.

Now, I’m not big on feelings and all that touchy-feely crap and I am very much a non-confrontational person. I don’t like big changes and I don’t like being mean or intentionally hurting people. But, if it’s making me unhappy to interact with someone on any level logic says I should pull myself away from that person. In the end it’s a more healthy thing for me but it’s the drama that must happen in order to rid myself of the person that makes me avoid the whole situation. So I do nothing about it and keep on living because it’s easier to not deal with it.

So I’m thinking this spring it’s time for me to buck up and take care of the cleaning that needs done in my relationships….do you have some cleaning to do as well? Even if it’s just one person, who do you think you should “clean out” this year?
