Hope you are having a great day. It has been three weeks and I still haven't found my camera. I am looking one more place today and if it is not there, I am buying a new one. If I do that, it will be sure to show up. I just can't do without one. There is so much I want to show you and I can't!
I am slowly making headway on the living room. I figure another 7-10 days and I will be done. Then I will move on to the dining room. That is a huge job because anything we didn't know what to with was stored in there. Sigh! But I want my house back.
I have had a couple of days this week that I slept all day -- had no energy to do anything. And then a couple of days with so much energy that I got lots done. Do they balance each other out? I sure hope so.
Today Joe and I went to a Memorial Service for our good friend Dottie. She was 94 years old when she went home to the Lord two weeks ago. I have mentioned Dottie before in this blog. She was a part of the Ladies Bible Study and always told me she loved me and that I was a special person. Every Sunday she sat by the front door of the church giving out the bulletins and collecting her hugs from the people coming in. I'm going to miss her.
Don't forget to change your clocks tonight. I hate changing the time. I wish it were either one or the other. But in any case, set your clocks or you will be late for church. Very late.
See you all later.
Kathy
Kathy, Sorry for the loss of your dear friend. I know you are wanting to find your camera. Did you look in the seat of the car? I hope you find it before you buy a new camera. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the headway in the living room. I know that has been a burden on you and that it needed to be done. It takes courage to tackle a bit project and I am proud of you for doing it. I have done the same thing...and have let SO MUCH STUFF go---thrift shops/consignment or just gave it away. Once in a while I will have a fleeting "miss that" moment but most of the time I am thrilled that I no longer have so much 'stuff'.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry your friend passed away but I expect you know right where she is and that you will rejoin her someday across the great divide. Happy Saturday night- xo Diana
Be ruthless in your clean up and purging, Kathy, even if it's just a few minutes at a time. If you read back on your posts in the last year, you will see how much energy you put in to organizing, clearing, cleaning around and finding your "stuff". We all get overwhelmed with what we have accumulated and think we will need someday. I have found it freeing to have an empty drawer or shelf after letting go of things we really don't need. Good luck and I hope you get a bit stronger each day!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your friend. Thanks for the reminder to re-set clocks...gonna get up and do that right now.
ReplyDeleteGood to catch up with you! Purging is a necessary evil, isn't it. I'm glad you are motivated and had a couple of good days last week! Keep at it and you will get there!
ReplyDeleteMy clocks were all reset in the afternoon. Makes my head work much better! 🙂 Little by little everything will get done, especially if what you’ve already done stays maintained. I can handle that part, but the pressing forward to the new areas has not been going well here.
ReplyDeleteHope the camera is in that last place...
Good joke about the hymn and people arriving late. I wish we could stop all that silly time changing. I hope you find your camera, that is frustrating. You know how life can be, if you buy a new one, you will find your old one. I am in a women's Bible study, we are studying Ephesians. Did you see my current post on that?
ReplyDeleteI think the energy vs non-energy is normal.or so it seems. I'm the same way. I knew Dottie well & she will be greatly missed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the time change. IT seems as I get older, it is harder to switch each season. Love your funny for today.
ReplyDeleteI remember you talking about Dottie. I am sorry that she is gone. She will be missed when you look at that chair every Sunday. I liked your joke. That was a good one.
ReplyDeleteI remember you telling us about your friend. What a special lady....she will be missed! I hope someone will take over telling you how special you are...because you truly are special. I met you once and I'm blessed because of it!
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time, my friend. I know what you mean about the room with the things you don't know what to do with....constant battle!
If you must buy another camera, go for it. Capturing moments is important!
What a sweet friend you had. What a good legacy she leaves behind. I had to laugh at the last little sign on your post! hahaha! I have been searching for a few things as well. It's the process of finding it and decluttering at the same time for me, especially my office space! I hope you find your camera soon, no fun. But if you buy a new one, hopefully it's affordable and upgraded to something better! I nearly fell asleep near end of sermon today....arg....it wasn't that boring! :-} Have a good week and hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I just love that cabin at the beginning of your post!! So sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sure you are left with many beautiful memories.
ReplyDeleteIf you buy a new camera, you'll surely find your other camera. But that's okay, you can save your older camera for a spare. Just in case! Good luck with it.
You're doing an awesome job on cleaning out the house. I'll have to start on mine when I get back home. You're an inspiration! Have a great day, hugs, Edna B.
