Cleaning out my epiphanies

I find cleaning to be a very, very relaxing activity. And enjoyable, too, come to think of it. No, yours truly does not have OCD; but, I think I like cleaning and organizing my room or house or the place I occupy because it gives me time to think and reflect. Some people find their zen when they go running, others when they read; but me? When I'm down and dirty.

But, in today's exciting news, I played basketball.

I haven't played since October of last year. Now, I think I realize why I was always so hesitant to return to the court. It was my glasses; the last time I was on the basketball court, my old pair of glasses were ripped in half. Literally. But as I was reflecting as I cleaned my room tonight and did my laundry, I realized that risks in life have to be taken if you want the prizes that come from them. Tonight, I played basketball, and even with the risk of smashing my glasses, and it had to be the most happiness I've derived within this last week. Maybe even this whole month. Funny what can come out of the smallest things.
