‘The First Thing YOU DO Each Day”

Do you remember the first thing that you were taught to do… as a young child?

Al of us come from different households and taught many different things as we are growing up, but the one thing that I am asking…is “when you move from the “baby bed” to the big bed of your own?”

Now that you have your thinking cap on… what do you remember?

In some cases you may not remember, so when were you told to start making your own bed?

In the Orphanage…  and you were in first grade,  now you were sleeping in the Dormitory with maybe ten to fifteen other children, and each child had to make their very own bed. I am guessing most households across the Country would be doing the same thing.

There is a very good reason for “YOU” to make your own bed, as you get out of bed. 

When you start the day at  the making  of your own bed… YOU are starting your day… doing something. So… in LIFE as you go through the day… you will be seeing something that needs to be done, and you will follow through with doing that task, and or a creative thing that you have planned to do.

When you are older and thinking of joining the Army or the Navy or any other branch of Service… you will be assigned a cot to sleep on as every other person,  and will be shown the correct way for you to make after your good nights’ sleep!

Almost any Movie you see, regarding the different Branches of Service, you will see a shot or two of the men in the sleeping quarters, and they will be having an inspection scene where the sheet or pillowcase or some other reason that the cot was not made according to their directions and that service man will get “K-P Duty” or some other duty to impress upon their brain…that the cot has to Pass Muster!

The idea of making your bed first thing to start your day…gets you ready to continue the day doing those things necessary for an orderly  and clean  LIFE, committing to and doing those tasks that are necessary … small and or large… making for just a clean and well organized LIFE!

When guests come into your HOME, and like most people, they like to see your “BEDROOM”… You take all kinds of praise and good comments  with your HEAD held high… sure glad that my “MOM” made me make my BED when… I was a KID!
