I have begun to declutter ... just what I have done makes me feel so much better mentally.
I know there are people like me who love a spotless house yet ... sometimes Life pulls us down ... clutter begins. I know with all we have experienced since February 2023 not counting all before) ... many times I thought I was going to lose Skip. He became all I cared about (and caring for Camie, our dog).
February 13th, 2023 ... day before my birthday Skip fell backwards in the bathroom striking his head. He had emergency surgery to save his life. He had a big blood clot pushing his brain to the side. There wasn't a lot of hope he'd make it ... and if he did ... his mind, body wouldn't be the same.
He made it ... I am the only one who cared for him ... no one will never know the darkness I once again walked in for months. No one will ever know the tears I cried, never know all the hard work caring for him alone.
The main thing here is ... he made it, his mind is just fine ... he has to walk slowly from previous strokes. His speech is 100% now.
Things such as real life can cause one to lose energy, only do the basic things until one day all gets better. All one can do is hang on to the rollercoaster called Life until the wild ride slows down..
Thankfully ... my 'one day' is here. Thankfully all is better. Now ... I am ready to clear the clutter chaos in my life has brought. Let the deep cleaning begin!
Each morning I wake up I am so appreciative of even the smallest things. Skip and Camie are on even keel. I am fine.
My photo is of Skip eating pancakes this morning ... we have gotten his A1C down to 5.8.
i saw this first on my phone but don't know if my answer took - it rarely does from the phone. I find it is easier to think and accomplish y tasks when it is less to shift around. And too, possessions are not the important part of our lives - it is the connection of others. We are down to each of us with our cup and our plate which makes it is notebly easier to deal with. A neat bed in my eye sight when writing gives me the motivation to carry on.
