Putting Fingers to Keyboard....#WQ Theme: Chaos/Disorder

It's another week of  Wednesday Quotes, hosted by Marsha from Always Write. If you're interested in joining, you can find more about #WQ here.

This weeks theme is chaos/disorder. I am not a person who likes chaos and disorder, but I can function in chaos and disorder, and I really like creating order out of both of those. 

The quotes I found this week, I thought were good food for thought. 

I read that another term for cosmos is a system of thought, which could be interesting using that in the meaning of this quote. I'm not sure I fully agree with this quote. I do think chaos and disorder can have potential to be something more. 

This was a chaotic mess, when we had about 3 trees fall across the hill going up to our house. My FIL got our chainsaw and while he cut, another gal and I threw the wood over the edge of the hill. 

This was a good one. Chaos doesn't have to stay chaos. If we can see the opportunity that lies in it, and create order from it, how much better that would be. 

This was a bit of a chaotic situation in NYC...My daughter got a horrible bloody nose our first morning there...so bad it wouldn't stop for over 15 minutes and was coming out her tear ducts. We had to get a cab to go a few blocks to the Urgent care. They cauterized her nose and we had no more problems. 

Dealing with the subways was at times chaotic, but we learned and did well. 

New York City is just plain CHAOS...but I suppose it could be considered orderly chaos, but I couldn't live there. No thank you!!

YES!!! When we find ourself in the midst of chaos, whether self imposed, or let's say in situations like 2020, we can also use those times to "find ourselves". To take time to examine, to grow, to learn, to dig deeper into our own lives.

A natural situation that caused us much chaos, was a water leak in our original kitchen. It ended up working out because we replaced the floor in the kitchen and hall with the same flooring as our new kitchen and repainted the walls. HOWEVER, it was very inconvenient for several weeks. 

I did learn to embrace this chaos and make the best of it, but boy, it wasn't always easy. We had no stove to use during the process, so relied on the crockpot for most meals. 

All of our pantry items were in the other part of the house. 

My refrigerator and stove were outside. We could use the fridge, but not the stove. 

This quote made me laugh. That is true...One never knows what they might find. 

I have one closet that is always in disarray...I need to figure a way to get a better handle on it, but I just haven't figured it out yet. Above and below are two times when I pulled everything out to organize (I need to do it again). Ignore my foot in the bottom photo...I was showing my Birkenstocks that I was trying to break in for our trip to NYC in 2017

With Joy Unquenchable,
