I woke up this morning at 3am for a bathroom break and thought, ugh this place needs a good cleaning. So I got out the cleaning supplies and attacked el baño. Who cleans house in the middle of the night? Only mom...and now I can add myself to that list. It was just one of those moments where I couldn't put it off another minute. As I was cleaning a slur of things flew through my mind. General Conference being one of them.
I love General Conference. I really do. It's usually a time of year when I reevaluate myself. Self reflect. Start new resolutions. Let's face it, anytime is a good time to do good and be better, but rather than starting at the beginning of the year, I like to start new resolutions with Gen. Conference. That way I can check myself (physically & spiritually) every 6 months (til the next conference) and see if I'm following through with things I started or not.
This morning I focused on the physical aspect of my reevaluation. As I was scrubbing away I asked myself what else needed a good cleaning in my life? My teeth, for one. Why? Because I eat so much sugar. I often hear from my other half phrases such as, "I've never seen anyone eat as much sugar as you do.",or, "You are the sugar queen.", "How does that not hurt your teeth?". Ok. What else could use a good cleaning? My body. My gut. Why? Cause I made sure to drink enough soda to store away there for hibernation this winter. Sugar! My friend. My enemy. To get myself ready for Conference this weekend, when I get to clear and clean my mind and spirit, I'm starting a sugar cleanse. Thank you , brother Sale for bringing it to mind. If I'm going to clean up my spiritual life, it's only fair to give a little TLC to my physical self. It won't be forever. It could. It should be, with all the sugar I've eaten in my 29 yrs of life, I'm surprised I haven't started to sweat syrup. More details later. For now, I'm doing it, my bathroom is clean, I'm clean-(I can't clean a bathroom without showering, can you?), feeling good, going sleep.
