I am going to try and do April A to Z challenge this year. I am not totally up on the technology, but I will give it a shot.
My theme is rightsize.
A for me stands for Anxiety. Marrying another person who collects lead us to accumulate. 11 years in our house lead to lots of stuff. In 2 to 6 months we are moving. I have been purging for 2 years.
2 houses has lead to excitement and anxiety. Too much stuff = anxiety. Too much stuff means too much physical, but also too much mental. I feel like I have been dealing too much for the last couple of years with "stuff" and not as much on personal experiences with people who matter to me. Some weekends I tell me husband "stuff is winning". But, I know that my perspective has shifted and now my actions follow and soon, it will all be worth it. Out of necessity - selling one house means I have to get rid of a bunch, over half our stuff. But, also out of a desire for something different. I think it will be a lifelong process, but one that I am willing to put in the hard work.
Happy Monday everyone! Today it is gray and snowy here in the Midwest. We won't see the sun till Wednesday. Some April Fool, Mother Nature! Do you all have any good April Fools jokes? Once I had a co worker who always played jokes on people. I am not good at practical jokes. I cannot keep a straight face and on the phone, I laugh. But one year I enlisted the help of a 3rd friend to call joking friend and tell joking friend that his vehicle that was at the mechanics was going to cost $1000. He about had a fit! The fun thing was, I worked with him. So when 3rd friend called joking friend, myself and a couple other co workers were in the other room listening to it play out. It was so fun! Tell me some of your experiences, I can always use more ideas! HAHA
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. : ) Snowy and cloudy here by me too today.
