Hard time Quote by Sandra Felton
““Somehow Messies have a hard time coming to the realization that some jobs we must do are unpleasant and tiring. It is difficult for us to accept that giving away "stuff" will hurt us, but that it is okay to be hurt. Optimistically, like children, we feel that if a job is hard, we really can't be expected to do it.””
