One upside to the craziness of my "new" schedule is I have been able to do things like install a new closet system at home. I only have one small clothes closet and it was in desperate need of a face lift. Nothing fancy, just a Rubbermaid one from Lowes. I actually used the closet planning guide from Martha Stewart's web site and then got the Rubbermaid components for about 1/3 the price. I bought the components before the craziness of work happened. The components have been sitting on my bedroom floor for almost a month and I kept tripping over them. I think I was more tired of stubbing my toes than really motivated to organize the closet, but I'm happy I did do it.
Despite me having these manic mood swings about work, I decided to use some of my peppier energy to do things like re-organize and de-clutter my closet. I also trolled through my tee shirt collection, finally tossing out those old stained t-shirts that really don't fit. I did keep a couple to use as house rags, but the rest, trash can city. Did I really need that Oktoberfest 1984 T shirt that I never liked to begin with? I got a bag together of clothes to go to Goodwill. Right now I just don't see me losing those 25 pounds I gained during the BK to fit back into those pants. Let someone else use them, they were just taking up space in my house.
I also went through my dresser and purged socks, undies, and etc. Everything that was left was refolded and put back neatly. At least when I open my sock drawer, I will see neatly organized socks! In an odd way, it was very satisfying to tidy up my things. I still have to make some headway through my desk (which has become a disaster area), and the bathroom vanity.
No matter what happens, at least I feel a bit more organized!

Does cleaning drawers/clothes and things make you want to buy new? I always find that when I finally part with old stuff, eventually I am itching for new pretty things to put away. :P
I did the clean up a few months ago and planned on buying more socks to replace the ones I through out but never got around to it :/
I like your blog- as I am going through a bankruptcy currently. I like what you have to say and would appreciate a mutal "follow" on the blog I just opened- heck- I might even have need of a guest blogger if you would be interested!
Thanks,

What's the prayer? "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things that I can, and wisdom to know the diffrence." Good luck with everything.

That's absolutely right. Instead of sulking in the corner, get up and fight like a man. Life is hard, and it will knock you down. It doesn't matter how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up and fight. Good luck.
It's true that one should use his time wisely. Dionne has a point, life has its ups and downs. We all fall at one point in time. The more important point is whether we stand up and continue, or stay down and defeated.

Good for you to keep active! I know some people who have gone through bankruptcy, and it is really interesting to see what they do to bounce back. One of my friends worked on her home non stop for almost two years to keep busy and productive.

My brother has been struggling with bankruptcy in Saint John, but is slowly recovering. Thanks for this post.
Its sometime a long hard row to walk
To begin with the fact of the matter is that filing bankruptcy was designed to give people buried in debt a new beginning. Unfortunately many people still see it as a failure and the end of everything. Congress created bankruptcy as a means for Americans struggling with overwhelming debt to gain a second chance.
Maybe you can help me. I've been looking into bankruptcies in Canada because my friend is about to go into that. Where can I find some good information?
I think you should try A again! I'd like to make a pair this summer, although it's pretty scary. But you've had so much success lately that I bet you'd knock 'em out of the park! I like the top pair, in particular.

Are bankruptcies in Canada difference from those in the States? I know quite a bit about State bankruptcy but not much about Canada. Could you give me some information?
Thanks for the post, and everyone that I've talked to said that when you bounce back from bankruptcy you just have to be steady and then it will be easy. But who ever said that was wrong, because bouncing back has been a huge struggle.
I need to know what bankruptcy in saint john rates are for a report I'm doing... Does anyone know where I could get accurate information about that?
Wow thanks for posting this. I was wondering if any one would know where I can learn more about he bankruptcy laws in Alberta? If you know where I can find this information please let me know. Thanks for any help.
Hang in there man. Being positive and productive is really important. THe best advice my bankruptcy trustee in Vancouver gave me was to keep myself active. Feeling like you are productive is huge and don't be afraid to lean on your family a little.
