Clear a path to the door My grandmother told me to "clear a path to the door every night before bed."It makes for a smooth escape if there's ever a fire in the night.But "clearing a path to the door" came, in time, to mean so much more.I learned I'll be much happier tomorrow if I tidy all the clutter tonight.And it's a good habit when getting involved with new people or activities.Trying mountain climbing or whitewater rafting becomes possible when I know I have a safe exit plan if it becomes too risky.That "clear path" is always a wise plan.
