When I was composing my last blog entry, I had an odd thought. As much as I've spoken against here about 12-step programs (including CLA, Clutterers' Anonymous), and they're whole "higher power" approach, I suddenly realized something. This blog, in some sense, has been a "higher power" for me.
After all, this blog is what has mainly motivated me in taking care of my clutter problem. In essence, I've been cleaning my place so that I can make more blog entries and thus keep it up-to-date. I've taken my meticulousness I have for my on-line presence, and used that to drive the meticulousness I otherwise wouldn't have for my own physical home. Maybe that sounds pathetic on some level, but it's worked.
Then again, I was the guy who created this blog in the first place. So I'm ultimately my higher power's higher power, which thus renders the term "higher power" pretty useless here. Besides, step #7 would be asking the blog to remove all of my shortcomings. That doesn't quite work.
Perhaps I was reading into this too deeply. Nevermind.
And now, back to our irregularly scheduled blog...
