As I'm working at organizing my desk today and all the tasks that come with being the family accountant, there are two things I'm wishing I'd inherited from my mom.

1. Her mad secretarial skills.
2. Her gumption.

With the former, though I enjoy a good round of organizing, I have a strong dislike for paperwork. Or at least the filing of the paperwork and the shredding of the paperwork and the fact that there's always paperwork, paperwork, paperwork.

With the latter, my mom has this amazing amount of energy. Me? Most of the time I feel like my get up and go got up and went. And I'm left here wishing I could take a really nice nap.

I cleaned up the office on Monday, and I found that if you put aside the paperwork in a pretty box and then wait a year or so, most of that paperwork can be thrown away! Just saying.....

Good tip, Lori! And it's true! I only have energy in Utah - because it is a new place. I do not have much energy in Florida - too hot!
