I spent this morning cleaning up the home in which I live. Now I am not talking about the house I am sitting in right now. As I 1 , I can see the sink is still full of dirty dishes. Dust is starting to 2 on the pictures, tables, and even my computer again. Dirt 3 to be swept up from the floor and pet hair needs to be cleaned the couch. What is more, the 5 in the turtle s aquarium has to be changed.
Yet, as I look at my dirty, little house I 6 have to smile, because I know that the home in which I live is 7 right now. That home is my soul. When I 8 this morning I noticed that it also had become 9 again. I wasn’t willing to let it 10
that way for long, though. I have learned that a dusty soul leads to a terrible day and that terrible days lead to a(n) 11 life.
I spent the morning cleaning my soul from top to 12 . I swept the negative thoughts from my mind and the 13 feelings from my heart. Worries, anger, and fear were 14 into the garbage can. When I was done I felt 15 in my home once more.
The house in which I sit may need a lot of 16 , but it will have to wait its turn. The home in which I live is what I am most 17 about. I hope that the same is 18 for you. I hope that you always make efforts to keep your soul 19 , beautiful, and full of love and care. Remember some day you will leave your house behind, but you will 20 your home with you.
