It hit me today--for no apparent reason--that six months from this date I reach a milestone birthday.
And tomorrow is Dearly Beloved's and my thirty-sixth wedding anniversary. For those who said it wouldn't last, well, we're still here. Probably crankier than ever, but still here.
I don't set goals or make resolutions because the very minute I do, something comes along that makes it impossible to do what I set out to do. It is likely my own contrariness, but it happens.
However, I think I'm going to see if I can get rid of some things that have been weighing me down in the next six months. It's time to start going through this accumulation of Stuff and Nonsense. I want to downsize, keeping those things which I believe to be useful and know to be beautiful.
Obviously, this does not include needlework of any sort.
But Dearly Beloved had better get a haircut soon or he's going to be out of the beautiful category.
Happy anniversary, Ann, to you and DB.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about that upcoming birthday. I hit that one already.
Know what you mean about downsizing by cleaning out some things. I think my stimulus came after cleaning out my father's apartment last year. I've made several trips to Goodwill, but have much more to sort through.
Would love to see a photo of your grandson.
I too look around and wonder where all this stuff came from!?
ReplyDeleteI keep a box out for Goodwill that I try to drop stuff in. When it is full it goes to them. I need to be a little more proactive :)
Happy Anniversary Ann! My DH & I also celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary this year. How can it be that 36 years have come & gone so quickly? Honestly, it sounds as if I could've written your post. I also want to downsize & never make resolutions. I have a milestone birthday in another year & a few months.
