Lining up

There is "something akin to the electric thrill I once enjoyed" as a child while lining up my markers according to colour or sorting lego or my farm set, that seems to make hanging laundry on the line a bit more of an enjoyable challenge and a bit less of a chore (it also helps to be outside on a beautiful day!). I periodically come across evidence of a love of order in my own children, too. It makes facing their messes a little less overwhelming.
