"For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."

Finished……temporarily

Cleaning up and clearing out is:

• Is like waking a sleeping giant or getting into Pandora's box
• It takes time to get it right........ a lot of time
• It is not for sissies or the faint of heart
• It is exhausting
• It’s back breaking
• It’s memory lane taking
• It takes you places you didn’t think you wanted to go
• It’s a dirty job making
• It makes you hate dust more than you already do
• It’s all consuming and time taking
• It takes patience and long suffering
• It's better to do before you are dead
• It makes me not want to have stuff anymore
• It is so, so liberating
• It's done...for today anyway!

Cleaning Up

Spring cleaning has nothing on a good first of the year purging.  I spent most all of today purging my office of piles and piles of yester-year paperwork and a ton of crud!  The office flood was an inconvenient event there is no doubt about it, but it was a great vehicle to get rid of stuff.  I’m not done yet, but tomorrow I will be able to finish up.  Can’t wait to see the results.  Next stop will be home…………stay tune!

Gift Giving

First let me just say, not blogging everyday could be a problem for me.  I thought it might be easier to just let it go then it actually has been.  Last night I wrote a great post and posted it and went to bed.  This morning when I checked my blog poof it was gone.  Gone.  Gone into the abyss of the internet world.  So sad it is gone. So I’ll try again.

We were given a wonderful gift from dear friends for Christmas.  “The Gifts of Love: A Christmas Message” by Henry B. Eyring.  I started to read it then stopped because I wanted to share the read with Mr. Man.  So together we read through it.  I didn’t realize at the start that the words in this message would touch my heart so profoundly and come spilling out my eyes.  I had tears aplenty.

There is so much more to just giving.  Being able to be a good receiver is equally important.  Life is so full of opportunities to give and receive.  To do good. To be better. To become the best we can be. 

Sometimes we say, “I’m doing my best!”  But “saying” something is so, so different than actually “doing!”  Doing takes action, it takes thoughtful planning.  Better get started.

Happy New Year!!
