oops...missed a day

in the middle of the night
i realized that i had not opened
my blog yesterday.
oops.
there goes my discipline!

yesterday i went to the movies
to see JOY.......
not a good movie in my humble
opinion.  very slow.  not a great
story line.  i would not recommend.

today i am continuing on my
quest for a more simple life,
simple home, using up all that "stuff"
or giving it away.

please don't make a movie about this.....
it would not bring you joy.

Downton returns

At last, the Downton Abbey series returns!

looking forward to
the final season of
Downton Abbey.

it will be interesting
to watch as the
characters take on
new and interesting
adventures.

day two

of the New Year.

my resolutions are already beginning to suffer.
but i don't want to ignore the blog.

somehow i have volunteered to do some teaching
at the local Arts Center.  I will teach a collage workshop
in three separate classes beginning next Sunday.
this seems very scary since i have never officially
taught a class in anything.

also in my garden club i will be demonstrating how
to make a garden angel.  so today my partner in the
demonstration and i went to Goodwill to scour the
shelves for appropriate dishes.  i missed a golden
opportunity to take a couple of bags of donations
which i have been gathering.  next time.

lots more organizing and cleaning to do in the house.

more tomorrow.......

welcome to 2016

Another new year....another fresh start.

each january begins another purging process.
this year is no exception.  i have a 30 day plan
to find items that i no longer use, need, or love.

i will begin in the basement (where everything
that i don't know what else to do with goes)
and work my way through the house.

i don't know if 30 days will be enough time!
I hope that when February rolls around, my home
will be filled with only things that bring me JOY.

a joyful new year.
