This idea, this time around was started by
keiliss. She is posting for the 5 days leading up until new year's and detailing what makes her grateful, thankful and things like that. She had planned something longer but shortened that. Now I am going to catch up here and calculate how many "gratitudes" I would have to post (5) and post them in some manner in the few days left until New Year's and see how I do. This is phyncke's-verse and this is how I want to do this. I love the idea of this and am enjoying reading the posting.
Day 1 (Today and the Gift of Time)
I am given the gift of time, for which I am grateful. I have time to get things done at my own pace and inclination. That in of itself is remarkable and I could stop there and thank someone for that but really, I would have to go thank the Governor of California for providing me with furlough days and I don't think I want to do that. For now, I am blissfully aware of having hours in the day with which I can do what I want.
And so I, cleaned and dusted my home, organized my life for the new year. I dusted, I gathered and arranged papers and felt more mastery over my place than I had before. It felt good to have gone through my piles of papers, clothing and books...etc and purged out what was no longer needed. I usually take what is re-usable to various places for resale or re-use and then donate the rest either in our neighborhood or to Good Will.
I like to face the New Year with minimal clutter and more breathing room. I am close to this goal and that makes me very grateful too. Thankful that I am able to work on this and back to the beginning, grateful to have time to spend on these projects at home. When I am working. none of this gets done.
Free time, not so free, but used well.
If it seems a rambly bit, and it probably is as I was heading off to bed when I thought to start this. I go to bed, pretty sure that no one will have any idea what I am talking about. I think I know...but I will have to read this again in the morning. :P
