here I go again


Today is a good day. I am enjoying the days when we don't have any rain. It sure is nice to see the flowers blooming & even the neighbors mowing the lawns . I have been feeling like making some changes in my life. I know that I hoard stuff. I know that I will always be a hoarder. It is just time to take everything into consideration about how I am going to downsize through the spring. I have talked about this subject many times. I have made progress but really I think I am still in the same boat. I keep paddling & seem to get nowhere sometimes. The rocking chair is rocking but it just goes back & forth. I am not depressed though. I still have my gratitude. I am still grateful everyday that I am not as bad off as a lot of people I know. I guess I am getting off topic again. I just want to see how the program can work in this situation. I love clothes & now that now I have to get rid of them. I guess I need to take a daily inventory on what I have. I don't see getting rid of much that I like but I have given away new clothes. So, everything else is OK. My mom is back from down south. I know I have mentioned before that she moved away almost 3 years ago. But now she lives up here near me. It is a challenge but I am glad she is back. My sister just wasn't going to be a good choice where my mom was comfortable living. She tried & my sister did to. But the relationship they have is better at a distance. I am actually my mom's best bet. I really do get her. She is definitely important to me. But today OK I guess I should share this: My mom is having heart trouble. I think they call it a-fib. I am not worried just concerned. So, I go from day-to-day. I look forward to good days. Thanks for being there for me. Even when I ramble, you all are patient. I know I can count on you.

The weather where I live has been really nice. It is a good time to do some spring cleaning. I have a friend that gets anxiety when she has to get rid of her things. I do not have that problem, but it is always hard to get rid of clothes. I do not have any advice except to start small, and make a dent in things. Or, you could put everything in a pile and work on it until you have it all sorted.

Hey Hoot - great to see you.....we've had a bit (tons) of rain/weather but beautiful weekend is in progress. I am a self-professed pack-rat - it is what it is. I've been slowly working to downsize - trying to go from 3 levels of home to 1 w/unfinished basement. It's a process for sure.

Keep taking care of you and the rest will happen when it happens. That's how I work it! (((Hugs)))
