Mary -
It took me a while to get
back to the computer but how nice to have such encouragement waiting for me! I
completely agree with you - the less there is in my home - the less I have to
deal with. So I keep plugging away. I have 2 bags of stuff out in the car - dh
carried them out for me, bless him - and I started another bag that will
probably get full today. I made progress this weekend by doing a little and
not taking on the whole world - though since I also have ADD I had 5 different
things going on at once, but that was OK. I didn't fight it - when I found I
had drifted and was working at something else I just continued where I was -
serene in the knowledge that soon I would drift back to my original projects.
So only one got finished - but it was deciding on which material to keep out
of 11 big boxes - I am now down to 1 big box! - Beaming,
beaming!!!!!! :o) :o) :o) And -
I am 50 % done on the upstairs bathroom, 90 % done on the top of my
dresser - all my socks are sorted and relocated, my canned goods are sorted
and neatly stacked, and I got my dh to move the air conditioner out of my
kitchen so I could open 2 drawers and a bottom cupbord!
I am
feeling better - I think this flare is almost history - so I got supper going
in the crockpot and am continuing on with the decluttering. Have to go
clean for my 93 year olds in - yikes - 20 minutes and I have to
change and let the car warm up and sweep the snow off it, so I had better get
a move on. Have a good day!
((((((HUGS))))) right back
to ya!!!! (By the way - that Bible verse is one of my very
favorites!)
LWL,
Mindy
Hi Mindy
This is
true but it's nice to have understanding friends like you to "hang in there"
with.
I am sorry you are in a flare right now. It sometimes comes on
when you least expect it and stays as long as it wants to. I usually
feel like I have just come up out of a deep dark hole when a big flare begins
to subside. But, enough about that. I would like to plug JFC right
here. People who have FM and CFS (NEED) to be clutter free. I am
finding that the more clutter-free, and organized I am, the less stress I have
and the less stress I have the fewer flare-ups I have. So, we need to just
keep de-cluttering and learning from each other ways to stay in control.
So, you hang in there too and try to have a positive attitude.
Hard to do, I know.:o) But, it will get better.
Love
and ((((((HUGS)))))
