Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness...

Apparantly, someone forgot to tell our previous tenants this. I've spent the whole day cleaning our house in Florida (and it's still not done). I was complaining rather loudly as I had to clean nasty bathrooms and pick up disgusting dirty socks that were left behind. About half way through the day, I remembered that I should be focusing on the things I am grateful for rather than complaining . I came up with a list, not a very long list, but a list nonetheless:
-I'm thankful that my mom taught me to clean
-I'm thankful that I like a clean house (not that mine is always clean)
-I'm thankful that we had renters for the past few years

I will post pictures for this later, I'm taking before and after shots of the house. I only have the before right now, by the end of the week there will be after. Stay tuned!

Sorry you had to clean up such a mess. Been there, done that. I used to always wonder how people could live in such filth. In a way, it is kind of refreshing to clean like that and see the transformation. It always reminds me that with a lot of hard work, I can get things looking good as new.
