Staying Organized

so good… the year is off to a good start and the closets are looking cleaner than ever at my house…

Some of my closest friends say I am obsessive compulsive about some things…  while I have never been actually diagnosed with OCD… I do tend to have a strong focus on different things… for example… I am diligent about working out and training for my third half marathon… right now I am in the best shape of my life but I am constantly thinking about how I will fit in my next work out and maintaining a good balance of running, weight training and diet…

I recently joined facebook and I really have been enjoying it… however in the beginning I went through my entire “friend” list to leave meaningful comments on different “walls” because I wanted to have messages on *my* “wall” - when I told my friend Melissa… she said “Karen, do you have to put everything in a spreadsheet? Can’t you just have a hobby?“

Just typing those words from her makes me laugh out loud because I am a person who thrives on structure, organization and planning… that is just my personality but I have been building in more times for relaxation and fun even during the week… it is never a problem for me on the weekends…
