I have to say that the year 2020 is a fast paced unpredictable ride. Just when I think I am full control a twist and turn comes, knocking me off course, of what I thought was the way.
I had my storage building filled with junk, literal trash, papers that needed to be disposed of, dead peoples junk.
I got it all cleaned out, leaving a couple tubs of stuff to keep, yes only a couple!
Then something happened, something so unexpected that I still cannot believe its real, I fell in love. I invited love home and now that empty storage building is being used for what I can bet God had intended it to be used for all along.
So..... all this time I was going minimal, I was making room for what was coming that I did not know about, only my heavenly father knew.
No that does not mean that I will stop getting rid of the hoard of things I still have, I still have that shed, THAT SHED. I am going to get to it and I mean it this time, nothing can stop me, I`m determined to clean it out. My love said tear it down and he will rebuild it, make it better. I will admit that if its torn down I will not miss it at all. I am feeling a trip to the county dump coming soon!
Another place I will work on again, my closet. I have lost weight and I am at the size that I am comfortable so all the ex-large and bigger is leaving this house!
I did keep my cousin Tony`s paintings, I have not decided what to do with those, maybe have a show? Sell them? That is what he always wanted to do with them, that will take time because of this virus, but I feel an art show coming soon.
I am finding it easier to get rid of material things now, life is not about owning things, its about living and loving one another.
Life is good. Even in my minimal hoarding life.
