As I was packing up the old house I found SO many different things that I either didn’t remember where they came from, or I no longer found joy from having them. I felt no shame or guilt in letting these items go. I desire to put energy into connections and experiences with people this year.
I threw a LOT of things away and donated many more. Donating is very dear to my heart. We have a local church that runs a 'clothes closet' and any items donated to them are returned to the public free of charge. That's my kind of place. Sharing what we no longer want/need with others who could benefit from it. Growing up we received many treasures and were greatly blessed by the donations of others. I appreciate being able to pay it forward.
Over the past few weeks I have been researching and investing in how to make the most of a small space. There are so many fun and creative ways to create less clutter and maximize potential in the available wall space. The biggest obstacle that I've yet to resolve is what to do with our bikes. I know storage is a possibility, but I like my bike to be with me when I am ready to ride. I feel that if I have to make an extra step to get it from storage, it's likely I won't.
I feel really blessed to be at the townhouses again. I personally like it here in my quant space…close to walking trails, straight shot to work, food and parks nearby…a calming pond with water fountain and some familiar neighbors. And despite my excitement I shared with Allan regarding mowing the lawn at the last place...I am ok NEVER mowing again...lol
Cheers to a quaint and relaxing place to call home!
