Did You Make Your Bed This Morning?

Nobody loves making their bed.  At least, not anyone I've ever met.  We see it as a time-consuming nuisance first thing in the morning.  We ask our kids to do it.  They hate it too.  So, what's the point?  Why should you ever bother making your bed?  You are only going to (hopefully) return to it at the end of the day.  

Here are a few reasons why making your bed can be a very good thing...

1) It sets a tone of success and accomplishment for your day when your feet first hit the floor.  Check!  One thing done already!  You may now proceed kicking butt and taking names. :-)

2) When the bed is made, you are less likely to leave other items lying around which don't belong there.  I'm talking about unfolded laundry and clothes tried on before leaving the house.

3) A tidy bed is a little bit of cozy luxury that welcomes you when you are ready to rest at the end of the day.  You can choose if it is simple and straightforward, or mounded with decorative pillows.  

Are any of these reasons compelling for you to try making your bed?  Please share in the comments if you are a bed maker, or why you don't.
