If you’ve ever crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge that gives travelers to the Eastern Shore of Maryland easy passage you’ll know that it’s an experience. Every single time I cross I am amazed and think of how I am glad this bridge at its highest point of 1500 feet and 24 million cars later has really good maintenance. The bridge is about 4.3 miles long and to maintain its structural integrity crews start at the beginning, working their way over to the other side only to finish up and start again at the beginning. Fortunately for us travelers eager to get to the beautiful eastern shores we can trust in the fact that there is a constant cycle of taking good care in maintaining the bridge's structure.

Spring Cleaning For Clearing Life's Clutter

I don't know about you, but throughout the year, I accumulate junk; I have become more of a minimalist in my life, but somehow I still hang on to stuff thinking I may need this or use it again at some point, so in the closet, drawer it goes. I have gotten better at being able to release stuff sooner than I may have in the past. I have a year rule, and if it has sat without purpose for a year, then I am okay parting with whatever it is because I know I am not likely to use it, and my life doesn't require me to hang onto it. I am aware that when there's clutter in my personal space, my energy is impacted.
