Purging Those Files in My Home

It’s Tuesday evening, June 26 2018, and I had to take a break from purging my home.  I’m trying to prepare my house for sale and it is a ton of work.  I have collected so much “stuff” that I don’t even know which way to turn.  I have a lot of home accessories that I’ve bought over the years and now I’m trying to dwindle it all down to clear my head if nothing else.  

Today was a quiet day here in my living room.  I’m kind of taking things slowly as I prepare to throw things out that no longer serve me and as I get ready for the Fall and Winter seasons which for me means, holiday time and great sales for my body butter and gift box business, I am excited.  I am already placing orders for my new beauty jars and tins so I am thrilled to see what they are going to look like when they arrive.

I called several places and I hit the jackpot when the nice lady on the phone at SKS told me that I could order up to three jars free of charge, which includes free shipping also, I jumped at the opportunity to grab these three sample jars.  If they look anything as she described I will be ordering them as soon as they arrive. There’s really nothing like working for yourself doing what you love.  I think when you’re doing the things you love it makes working your home based business a breeze.

I’m also shopping for new furniture for our new home.  I already purchased Thanksgiving dinnerware for this year and I have my theme in place for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I love to plan early as I guess you can tell.  I even start buying my spices and all in September just so that I am fully ready when the time comes.  I never wait for the last minute to do anything.  I never have.  

Well, I’m headed back into the bedroom where my mother once resided.  It was hard for me to enter into that room for the longest time after she died in there.  I was her caregiver for seventeen years and out of those 17 years she was bed-bound for 5 1/2 of that time.  It breaks my heart when I think about her, but I know I have to keep pushing forward no matter how difficult.  It was September 15, 2017 when she passed away and I’m trying to get better.  I try to think about the moments we shared with her telling me her childhood stories and the memories that were in her heart.  If I dwell on those things I am okay.

Okay, I’m off to finish working now.  It’s 6:46 pm here in good old Pennsylvania.  The place I call home.  I love it here and I love taking time to share my living room stories with you.  I hope they resonate with you in some way.
