Spring Cleaning - General

Are you one to participate in the yearly extensive “Spring Cleaning”? If you aren’t it’s not a problem I was just curious. I actually personally do a “spring cleaning” twice a year which is right before Easter time and then again before winter hits, so probably mid November when all of the holiday decorations or elements come out. Well I was curious this year and decided to do a little research on the topic. 

Did you know that if you follow this spring cleaning tradition it’s a tradition that doesn’t just go back a couple of decades or that it’s something the older generation invented to annoy the newer-that whole phrase our mother’s used to use about making sure our rooms were clean. Apparently it’s a long lasting tradition that began taking place or at least it began being noted as “Spring Cleaning” since the 1800s. According to the Washington Post, the biggest cleaning of the year was in the spring due to the layers of dust and grime that was left behind from the winter season. However, it’s also more than that, it’s also a religious tradition that dates back to Jewish customs during Passover! 

So something we look at a mediocre or minimal is linking us to not only our past history but also to that of numerous religious cultures! You’re probably thinking how korny is this or it’s not even an important topic-but seriously how many of you actually knew that!? I sure as heck didn’t so it was some interesting random information I never realized. I know random and irrelevant but still thought to share!

New Year’s 2021 - General

Is it just me or does this new year seem a little thrown off whack? I know it’s probably more so because of the COVID-19 still being around and conversation/news about a second strand...but that’s not what I’m referring to. Maybe it’s just me, or do any of you feel along the same lines?

So with the New Year’s there’s always the whole “New Year Resolution” theme that comes into play at the first of the year - with that trend lasting the first month and either slowly fading or faltering by the end of the month. So are you one of those individuals who ends up coming up with a New Year's resolution? Are you the type of individual who likes to follow through for your resolution or are you the portion of society that flakes out after about a month or so? I can't say I've been either one of them since for me personally, resolutions are more year round period for me so why would I wait for the beginning of the new Year to commence a change of some kind. 

Although kudos to many of you readers who make it a tradition of creating/making New Years resolutions and following through with them. With that being said and we’re towards the end of April already (yes I know my blog post is a little late), have many of you have actually kept up with your resolutions and how many of you have just fallen off the wagon? Come on be honest!

Sincerely,
