A dear dear friend lost someone very special to her this week and it just broke my heart to see her pain. I just can not imagine how that must feel. I am offering strength and friendship as needed and stand ready to help her in any way and all I wish is I could ease her grief.
Since I found out yesterday I have been thinking about how precious life is. We had our own scare in July with our youngest daughter and we were fortunate enough to get relatively good news in her situation. Many other do not. We must hold dear to who we have when we have them - they are a gift.
Things - not so much. I have long wanted to simplify my life and have been working to do so by cleaning out the clutter. Physical clutter. I have made many trips to thrift stores and consignment stores to pass along many of our things and feel much better about it. There is still a TON to go but I can see progress. Work with what we have and thin out even more. I read a blog today about a young family that decided to sell their house and move into an RV for a while - for the freedom and financial ease of saving for their future. Brilliant. I really, truly, want to do this. If you know me, you may have heard of my obsession with vintage travel trailers.
I wonder...think we could all live in this? (yea, I didn't think so, but I can dream)
Stay tuned...
Now I need to also work on cleaning out the emotional clutter. Life is too short, too precious, to waste any more time being unhappy and unfulfilled.
