CHANGES IN LIFE
July 2nd, 2009The rain today really freshened things up. The yards are beautiful. Summer is here! We are still working on downsizing. Our home is up for sale now. We have purchased a condo and are in the process of decorating it, painting and new carpets, etc.
I was visiting with a few friends earlier this week. It is amazing how many people think their tastes in color, furnishings and over-all picture of the finished project is best. How do you kindly say:” I want it to be my way.” I am not keen on those who decorate for a living. Not because theylack anything, rather they have their place. It’s just not my place. We want our house to reflect our tastes, not theirs.
We have many boxes filled with household goodies ready to be moved to the condo. Our children came home and helped us dispose of a lot of things and taking care of other things we want to keep. We have been using McDonald’s boxes. There uniform-in size boxes can be stacked in moving and even for a time when we move in.
The good Lord has been with us every step of the way. We have faith in Him and faith is what we need to make a major move in life that is not easy to accept, but being Senior Citizens, we must move to smaller quarters.
You may be following in our footsteps planning your own downsizing or are making a life’s decision to change. What ever you do, try to think, hear, and see the way the ball bounces in your behalf You can make your goal realized by keeping a good heart, a keen mind, a warm disposition and always thanking God for what you have. When we count our blessings, really count them, our depressed personalities fade away and tomorrow looks promising once again!
