Appreciate Each Day

Wellness challenge for today is to unsubscribe from unnec emails.  Already done.  To me, electronic clutter is just as bad as actual clutter.  I keep off many mailing lists as much as possible, physical mailing (no catalogs, no magazines).  I always unsubscribe email lists.  When they ask at the store, my friend gave me a good idea for a response.  I just politely say "decline" when they ask for email or phone number.

The phone trolling is just out of control.  DH and I are getting 2-6 calls a day from unknown phones.  We don't answer.  I am convinced they more you answer, the more you get.
I have done some cooking making and baking.  2 fails.  One new recipe and one old.  I will just freeze and eat this winter when I am desperate for baked coods and too lazy.  My DH said I must be distracted.  I am pretty preoccupied with my online sales.  I am thinking this is not a fit for me.  This first year of retirement may be a big exercise in just what is right for me - and I will gladly take that.

Yesterday DH and I took the pup and went to a state park the next state over, we could not believe how cool this area was.  We were the only ones there for quite a while, making Tuesdays a natural exploration day going forward.  There was a large waterfall and the trails all around it where made to explore it at all different heights.  It was quite a find!  Then I dropped my phone and cracked the screen.  God's way of telling me to stop taking photos and just be in the moment.  That was what our instructor was telling us in yoga class Monday night.  Message received.  Could explain my "baking" fails too.

Another way this message is being driven home for me...another of our childhood friends has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.  I need to enjoy each day to the fullest.
Getting ready to cook some pork chops for DH before he leaves to drive to the city to play golf with his brother and take our SUV that we are selling.  Wish me luck!  I am having kitchen challenges!

Friday Eve

Taking the last of the worst load to RH this weekend (basically our entire garage).  So heavy stuff like tool box, tools, car washing cabinet, motorcycle jack/lift, etc.  We will have another load of large stuff better moved on the trailer than in the SUV, but it is not heavy stuff.  Then all we will have left is clothes, kitchen, bathroom and misc. 
DH is having hand surgery 5/30.  So, he will be unable to help much after that, but I am thankful for the timing being what it is, we will be mostly finished.  We are thinking about selling our large SUV then.  I will be on a mission to further reduce our vehicle/bikes and to lower insurance costs by going to liab only on a couple.  We are just paying so much in insurance/taxes on these depreciating assets that require so much time and energy maintaining.  I am over it. 
Today is Thursday!  Or Friday Eve!  Have a great day!
