That Joni Eareckson Tada quote made me remember those children still being held at the border. We don't hear about them anymore, so the action is now accepted. It tears at my heart.

Losing a loved one and funerals are always stressful and our bodies get worn down both mentally and physically.<br /><br />I have been following several bloggers who have embraced a more minimalist approach to living and several of them have featured guest speakers who specialize in living this lifestyle. I listened to one speaker who has written several books and explains how our possessions or having too many really cause us more stress in our lives than we realize. <br /><br />While I may never be a total "minimalist" I have carefully purged, donated and sold many things over the last several years just sitting in my attic or closet that wasn't being used or I had gotten tired of. I looked at a old house video we did for insurance purposes from 2003 and was shocked at all the excess décor and clutter! If you look at pictures of my house today its a much different story. It looks fresher, cleaner and more open. I definitely like the less is more approach and have tired to make sure that clutter doesn't creep back in.<br /><br />I love to decorate seasonally but have scaled back so it doesn't become something that ends up being more of a chore than something to enjoy. BTW...love hearing the old country songs! It reminds me of my late grandmother who loved Ray Price, Charlie Pride and Jim Reeves.Teresa Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941565455848045138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-79767125588445089722019-02-02T11:12:08.239-06:002019-02-02T11:12:08.239-06:00Dear Linda, Has been a long time since I have hea...Dear Linda, Has been a long time since I have heard "Four in the Morning"<br />and I loved it!

Many are sentimental to us but have no meaning to our children. I told Marvin that sadly, some things need to be tossed as no one wants it. I am really trying to get rid of things I do not use. I have one big box loaded for the thrift store and I am saving some boxes for more purging. You are right, in some ways it is therapeutic. I love the Joni Quote. I have always admired her!! It made my heart ache to see the applause and cheers in New York state. That is just pure evil. Hope you are feeling better from your bug.

Time does heal and I like that quote. So many times it seems that we do get sick after going through something traumatic like a death in the family. Our body and souls need some rest in order to recover. Take good care and be good to yourself.

I was so tickled to find a box of paperwork that I had stashed a year ago could all be shredded. Leave it long enough and it isn’t important anymore. 🙃 My diffuser and Essential oils got a work out in January. Now I have been putting out a pitcher of clean water with a few drops of tea tree oil. I dump it every morning. Supposedly, it’s an old-time remedy for cleansing the air. A relaxing weeknd to you and Louis Dean.
