With An Angel On My Shoulder: Emerging (Organized) part 2

The Poem That Inspired My Subtitle

A Song for Daniel, Stillborn
by Jean Felice Eilbert (his mother)

When I held you in my arms that day
Born so still, born anyway
How was I to know to say goodbye?
No one knew just what to do
Except tell me I'd get over you
As if forgetting makes it all untrue -- a lie

But I remember to remember
I can't forget just to forget
Your memories are a part of me
Connecting me to what comes next.

And even after all this while
I think of you, sometimes I smile
Memories of my unknown child, fade slow.
I've held you in my heart each day
Life so short, life anyway
Memories are meant to say hello.

This year, my Word of the Year is Emerge. The goal is to have Emerged in several areas of my life by the end of the year. One of the areas is to Emerge more organized.

As I mentioned in part 1, I hired an organizer to come to my home and help me tackle my main problem areas. This time, we tackled the laundry/storage area of my basement. This room had always been storage but after I cleared the rest of the basement to turn it into a craft room, the laundry/storage room became overflowed with stuff and I could not see the floor. Again, we did a quick sort and tidy. It may not be even close to being organized yet, but I already see progress.

Here are some Before/After photos:
