My three imperfectly written books ... they are on record at the Library of Congress, also. I am proud of that. Gloria Faye Brown Bates
I am cleaning the house big time. I have bagged up so much that it filled the pickup bed. We took it to the landfill today. Amazing ... I didn't feel any regret for not even one thing I threw away.
I keep looking around me ... I love all the extra space getting rid of 'things' gives us. It just feels so good ... I feel less stressed, and less overwhelmed now.
I still have to go through all of our clothes in the closet, and drawers. I have to say all my clothes are still 'new' ... and I have a closet full of clothes. Both Skip and I do. They are all different sizes. I think it's time to part with all the clothes we'll never wear. Not only that ... it's the same thing with shoes.
Gracious, it's been so long since I've deep-cleaned. Since Skip's strokes, then surgery on his head I have only kept all very neat ... I felt I had an 'organized mess'. No one would see that but, me.
I have taken more sighs of relief than I can count in the past 3 days. Relief, thankful I could let go of things I couldn't let go of in the past. I still have a million things to ... let go of. I will keep going over all ... keep throwing away, taking to the Goodwill. If all the things I've let go of were money, I'd be rich. Alas, I'm not at all ... I've just kept so much from over the years. No more.
Time to rest now ... I can't believe how my back hurts. You would think I would be Superwoman taking care of Skip ... but, I'm not at all. I am smiling here.
I look forward to relaxing in the near future ... writing again. All the clutter will be gone ... that's what it takes for me to have a clear mind. Oh my, I am looking forward!
