Another week has flown by! My husband has turned another year older and we have visited with some realtors this week. They even liked our house!
Yes, it has been a very busy week! Now it’s time for Five Minute Friday so hop on and enjoy the ride.
In case you would like to write your five minutes, here are the rules:
- Write for 5 minutes! That’s it…if you get long-winded, let us know when your 5 minutes ran out.
- Link to Lisa-Jo Baker’s Five Minute Friday page.
- Last, and most important? Stop at the neighbor just before you and leave her an encouraging note…along with anyone else you care to visit!
That’s all there is to it! Join us with your Five Minute Friday link or just stop by the links and get introduced to quite a few interesting people.
HOME
GO
I’m being reminded of the words to the song,
This world is not my home, I’m just a-passin’ through.
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue….”
Yes, we’re starting to work our way through a large collections of stuff.
Lots and lots of it!
The thought of packing it all up and dragging it across the country is overwhelming at times.
Makes me want to crawl in a hole, in fact!
But wait! We’re down-sizing. That won’t work will it?
I’ve done enough tossing that I have clean surfaces in places I haven’t had, for a long time.
The unclutter bug is biting as I see more and more space
and feel freer and freer.
Life doesn’t feel nearly as chaotic when things have a place to be put…or they are gone!
Now I must pull things out of closets and get them ready for a garage sale…
or just throw them out! I know, novel idea isn’t it?
So we keep moving on.
The realtors have come and given their recommendations.
The list is made for phone calls tomorrow.
More appointments must be made for things to be done on the house. STOP
Once again I can say with joy…
I’m so glad I won’t have to pack for my eternal journey!
Everything I need will be there…and more!
Hallelujah!
Oh, what a great take on this word. I’m so glad you shared this. I feel your pain – on the decluttering. You can do it. Be free my friend!!!
thanks Debi for stopping by. once again, i enjoy being part of your Salt and Light group blog on facebook. it is fun:) carry on my friend!
I’ve just taken a break from cleaning and am now inspired to get up and keep going. We’ll be moving in a few months, too. All this stuff, which is already pared down, needs to just decrease! I totally agree with Barbie about that final move – so glad I’m not the one doing the preparations.
Amy, i don’t envy your moving. i always hate the process. But once it is over, i alway look back and see gobs of growth that has happened, bunches of new friends and a new turn in the road of my life with new opportunities. I’ll be glad when i get to that point:) thanks for stopping by.
Wonderful post! I can imagine how freeing it would be to just get rid of clutter and know that you’ll have a cleaned out and ready to go “collection” when you arrive wherever you are going 🙂 May God bless you as you continue to prepare for your move!
yes Sarah, if you happen to be a packrat, decluttering can be immensely freeing! i keep saying this over and over to myself! it is true really. with each move, we toss away a little more, but this move is definitely a downsizing move. we MUST get rid of a LOT! when the job is done, i’ll be glad i did it for sure!
Well.. I have to say, your blog is amazing and very inviting and cute! Thank you for stopping by my blog tonight, because I got to find another great blog to read..
