Oh sweet mystery of life at last I've found you!

So today I decided to tackle the much neglected bathroom downstairs. K.C. is extremely clean so I didn't think it would be too bad. Well I opened the shower door and it was really gross! We have one of those showers that is kind of plasticky rubbery in that bathroom that I have never loved. It's really hard to keep it clean cause the floor has this nonslip surface and the dirt really sticks to it.
So I dug into the cupboard and got out my rubber gloves, all of my most powerful cleaners and best scrubbers. I was hoping that a good spray with the "scrub free" shower cleaner would take care of buisness. I let it sit for a few minutes, then started wiping it down. NOTHING! Did not make the slightest difference. So I started scrubbing it with my fancy scrubber and the Clorox Kleenup. Nothing. It didn't even lighten up the shade of dirtiness on the floor. So I tried the "Mildew remover", Lime Away, and Pinesol and lots of elbow grease...man I was sweating! Still nothing. About this time I was pretty much overcome by all the fumes of all the cleaners so I decided to take a break, open the window, and come back strong. Now I was on a mission. The stupid shower was not going to win!
In desperation I started digging through the kitchen cupboard again and came across a box of SOS pads. I had only used them in the kitchen before, but after looking on the box, discovered that they put a sparkle on your bathroom too.
I went back downstairs and attacked the shower floor with a vengence and my SOS pad. All the dirt magicly just came off! It was like a miracle. So I used one on all walls and door of the shower too and it looks almost like new!
I realize this is really a lame thing to get excited about but this is my life, and I am happy I got the shower clean.
While I was scrubbing I had this thought. When I first looked at the shower, I thought "I can't do this, it is too much...too dirty!" But then the thought came to me...just take one little area at a time...do your best on it, then move on to the next. A light went on in my head as I realized that this is what I need to do in my own life. I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with the upcoming events in my life. When I think of everything that is going on, it seems like too much..I can't do it! Then I feel guilty, knowing that other people have MUCH bigger problems and challenges than I do. So then I get depressed, feeling defeated before I even begin. I find myself forgetting to do unimportant and important things. I think the lack of sleep has something to do with that. Yesterday I sat down and wrote out all the things I need do and places I need to be in the next couple months so I wouldn't forget. I don't do more than anyone else, probably a lot less than most, but lately, it's getting to me.
So as I was scrubbing my very dirty shower, I think I was getting an answer to my prayer that I could find some peace in my mind and in my life. Heavenly Father was telling me to : Take one day at a time. Just do the best I can... Find joy in the simple everyday things in my life.
When I turn to my Heavenly Father (my miracle SOS pad!) for help...after trying everything else,(why do I always do it the hard way?) he will give me the answers I need.
p.s. I love sos pads
