WQ #9: March 1: ORDER/ARRANGED

Awareness, Humor, inspiration, Motivational, Poetry, prompts, Quotes for life
RALPH WALDO EMERSON

I’m a great fan of order

Things need to happen in order

They need to be where I can find them

My routine needs to be followed to my satisfaction

I often think I’ve a touch of OCD

But I’m not that rigid that I cannot adapt

But I do like things to be in order, done in order

➰➰➰

Henry Adams

From chaos comes the order we require

For organization is how we find comfort

If we look closely, even in the chaos

We find everything in meticulous order

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  2. What beautiful thoughts, Sadje. They echo and like how.
    Especially:

    We find everything in meticulous order

  8. I don’t think there’s anything OCD about it. I’m just like you. Especially — ESPECIALLY — in the kitchen where when I’m cooking. The last thing I need is to be running around the kitchen trying to find that particular spatula or the pan I need. I want things where I want them and not where somebody else decides to put them. My husband is hopeless. He doesn’t cook and has no concept that things go with similar things and NOT wherever there isn’t something else.

    The only time I lose something is when I decide to put it “someplace safe.” Which means I may NEVER find it again.

        1. Perhaps you took it off, meaning to put it back but forgot. It happened to me too. Found one of a pair of my daughter’s earring in an old handbag while cleaning it. No idea hope or when it got there. I’m just glad that her pair is complete.

    I can hardly write without having to put events in chronological order. Poetry is hard because I even want it in order. Finding things – haha. I love your handbag story. And I try to have a place or two or three for everything, so I can find it again. 🙂

  15. In routine and order I find comfort and solace. I can adapt as necessary…but love falling back into familiar routines. Beautifully stated, Sadje! 💞💞💞
