The picture is of my recycling a week ago. Today I also had 3 large boxes of things out. It is good to have so much of those things out and gone but of course there is so much more to do. I often ask myself why did I keep so many things so long? The answer is unimportant but never the less I do ask it. Yesterday day I spent much time in my wood shop. I found things that I have not seen for a LONG time. Why why why?
Perhaps it is laziness, or too much work, or lack of money or maybe just a matter of what have been my priorities over the last 33 years. Whatever the answer I want, I need to declutter, clean and have things in OK order. I am hoping to make another trip to the refuse place today but by the title of my morning write I may not get there.
I woke up with great ideas, great plans and a desire to "get it done". THEN I climbed out of bed and wilted. Even though the house was warm I was chilly, even though I was rested I felt tired, I looked at the temp and it said 30, that is warm but when I went outside I thought it was cold, I wanted a nice breakfast but settled for a cold slice of meat on a bun. The point is something left me from the point of waking up to the point of getting dressed and I can't find it!!! I am thinking a nap may help but that sounds pretty pathetic at 9:00 AM. Then again maybe I don't feel well and a rest would help:) I actually think that could be building a case for laziness.
Regardless of what I do or don't get done today I am thankful for good health, a house to live in, enough resources to live on and a God that is so loving, so forgiving and so protective that I feel like a king. Thank you Lord.
As I write I am sipping my french press coffee and it may be giving me some energy. I will sign off and see if the get up and go that got up and went is anywhere to be found!
I have an idea. As we look at this week we are marching towards Allen/Debbie's 34th wedding anniversary on Friday. You may want to pick out a card and send it to them telling them what a wonderful family they have and what a wonderful couple they are. They are responsible for me being in this house as we needed money for a down payment and they gave us $10,000 as a loan so that we could close. Thanks again Al/Deb.
