Tempting…

I’ll be back writing here and reading your blogs with my usual enthusiasm over the next few days. My brother’s recent death has meant a retreat inwards for a while, but I miss y’all.

Today I awoke to sunshine and a house that desperately needs major decluttering, decorating and spring-cleaning. (Doesn’t sun through the windows show up how dirty they are?!)

I thought perhaps it was a sign when while clearing a shelf I found this card:

Housework

This is a very, very tempting approach…

It certainly is (especially for those of us who *ahem* ‘collect’ things . . . things that we’re going to do something with someday . . .

Aside from that, it’s good to see you back.

so glad to see you back AND i hope you will continue to give yourself the time you need for introspection and anything else that is fitting.

i have been doing a bit of cleaning & de-cluttering here myself. i read some words last night that mentioned if we cannot take care of the dust bunnies underneath our own beds, how can we save the world? i’m still pondering that one :-)

we had a blast of wonderful springtime yesterday with a full day of sunshine and unusually warm temps…but today we are back to much cooler weather and overcast skies. sigh…

hugs across the ocean!

It is good to hear your voice again. Spring cleaning is so therapeutic! Just take it one dust bunny at a time. I like Dot’s approach, though.

I am glad for your inward time of retreat and look forward to your voice back here when the time is right. I too join you and lucy in spring cleaning. Why does it feel so compelling and so liberating when its done? lots of love to you, C

Thank you, friends. Anita, I suspected you might have something to say on the subject of decluttering… ;-)
