1603


“Our bodies are our gardens, to which our wills are gardeners… either to have it sterile with idleness or manur’d with industry”.
                                            From Othello by William Shakespeare, 1603.

 
Always interesting to me, is the fact that human nature never changes, no matter the century, the time or the place.  These words from Mr. Shakespeare were written in 1603 yet they still seem relevant today. 

We are the masters of ourselves and it is up to us to bend our will and the way we lead our lives.  We can either have a life devoid of doing anything or having responsibility for anything which is, clean and sterile.  Or we can have a life that might be messier but better.  Sometimes when we are busy and productive, it can be messy, but it allows you to actually live a life.

I don’t like boring or messy.  However, boring can’t always be fixed but along with my OCD, I can certainly clean the hell out of a mess.
