Favorite Things? Too Many to Count
Whenever I think of my favorite things I think of the “Sound of Music”.I have yet to figure out how to put my favorite things to music so they rhyme and become singable. Continue reading
A Few of my Favorite Things
<music note> “These are a few of my favorite things…” <music note>
Thank you Julie Andrews for putting that song into my head.
We’ve talked about our favorite things before and the first thing that comes to mind are physical things. This time, I thought I’d also incorporate some non-tangibles. Continue reading
My Loves
Here goes.
I love my family. They are all different and wonderful in their ways. Each one makes me feel loved (well most of the time). They all seem like caring and nice individuals. All are very different and take on individual roles in my life, and I love them for their differences. Continue reading
Lookout Springtime
Purging is a concept that I have a challenge with. I think part of it is the lack of desire to make quick decisions about getting rid of things that I might need later. Setting that aside, it is time to focus on one area at a time and to get things that are no longer needed, distributed and out of the house. Continue reading
Where to Start
Spring and fall house cleaning always seemed overwhelming to me. The thought of ripping everything apart twice a year seemed like just too much work. I had an aunt who helped to put my anxiety at ease. She said she would thoroughly clean whatever needed it at the time and did not tear the house apart to accomplish spring and fall cleaning. Continue reading
Spring Purge
I love the idea of purging, whether it’s diving into “spring housecleaning” or embarking on a minimalist-inspired throw-out session.
Although my closet isn’t bursting at the seams or cluttered with dated items, I relish the process of regularly sorting through my clothes and decluttering. Enlisting a neutral third party makes this task easier. Sometimes, I turn to my daughter Aubrey for assistance, while other times, I seek help from my son Kadon. Continue reading
Spring Organizing
I have never been a big advocate of cleaning in general. It’s not my favorite thing to do. So, when asked what I do for Spring Cleaning – you will see a glazed look on my face.
As a child, we always cleaned on Saturday mornings, but I don’t ever remember being subjected to a major Spring Cleaning undertaking. Maybe this is an idea from years ago. Maybe some still abide by that idea. I’m not sure. All I know is that I don’t do it. Continue reading
The Notebook
I had a hard time thinking of a movie that I would deem romantic. To figure that out, I had to determine what I find romantic. What gives someone that feeling? Is it having someone do thoughtful things for you? Is it having someone speak sweet nothings to you? Is it having someone who thinks of nothing but you? Continue reading
P.S. I Love You
Romantic movies… where do I even begin? The first one that springs to mind is “P.S. I Love You.” It’s not just the love story between the characters that captivate me, but the transformation of Holly, the main character, that truly intrigues me.
In the movie, Hillary Swank portrays Holly, a vibrant and independent woman who meets Gerry, played by Gerard Butler while traveling in Ireland. They fall in love, get married, and move to New York. However, tragedy strikes when Gerry becomes ill with brain cancer and passes away. Over the next 12 months, Holly receives letters from Gerry, each guiding her through life without him and ending with the poignant phrase, “P.S. I Love You.” Continue reading
