The Wonder of a Made Bed




I just finished making my bed with fresh clean sheets.  There’s something about a made bed.  What exactly is the charm?  Is it that the whole room looks tidy and clean?  There is certainly always a pleasure in entering your bedroom and seeing that the bed is made.  It suggests a comfort that the unkempt bed cannot.   A made bed is uncluttered.  A made bed is peaceful.  It suggests that the person who will sleep within is also uncluttered and peaceful.

I love that "Fly Lady", the organizing guru site recommends morning bed making as a routine.  It's interesting to note that some of her recommendations seem aimed at keeping people from depression and staying in (and in bed) more than they should.  Still, there's a lot to learn from the "Fly Lady"; so I'll link it below:
