Thursday Thoughts & Tidbits

Watching Oprah yesterday, I heard something that connected immediately with my overwhelming urge to purge:

"Less space. Less stuff. More life."

My Soul jumped up and screamed "YES!"

(As of right now, I have no "tidbit" for today. Will update if one comes to mind!)

Yes but... wouldn't it be "Less stuff. MORE space. More life." ??? I agree with the sentiment behind it though!
The point was that you live in a smaller space, with less things and therefore have more life! I loved it!

so, i want the confession. what did you give away?!
Kalanna, I haven't the foggiest idea what you mean...?

the quote talks about being happier living with less stuff, so i was wondering what stuff did you give away to fulfill the "Yes" that your heart heard?

i hear the same thing every so often. i never know what i'll give away next. sometimes it's totally unexpected things and sometimes it's things i never should have brought home to begin with. ;)
Ah ha! Now I see! lol

I haven't given away anything yet, but I have in 1 bag 13 books to donate to the library and in another bag 3 pairs of never worn flip flops & 5 shirts which are still nice just too small for me now which will go to the thrift shop. It's not much but it's a start and I feel lighter already! (Also got rid of 1 huge bag of trash).

that's a pretty good start my dear!

this past week i decided to get rid of two pieces of cast iron cookware that were sentimental in value but that i never use. posted them to kijiji hoping someone would buy them, but no bites so far.

I always want to do this but then I have all of these things that belonged to my ancestors and I just can't make myself part with them.
Lisa, I definitely don't get rid of things that mean that much to me! I watched my Mom make that mistake.

Exactly Miss B!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
