Well, today was another highly productive day. I conquered my office/exercise room and the closet that I guard with my life. My treasures are safely packed in this space and NO ONE opens the door for fear of loosing a limb. IT IS MY SPACE! to do with as I see fit. Well I have seen alot and the shelves were bursting and I could not find anything. Pictures are in several different places, and it was just a mess. I pulled everything out and sorted through each box, bag, stack and binder. I sorted and collected, packed and labeled. I reduced my 4 shelves of mess to 3 loosely arranged and very functional spaces.
All my family tree and genealogy stuff is neatly organized in a small suitcase to permit transporting it easily. Scrapbooking stuff is also in a suitcase for portability ease. All our wedding cards are in our wedding book. Going throung the cards we received for our wedding was such a neat time. There was on that really made the day, it had one of my favorite verses on it, one that has become very significant in my life; Romans 8:28 it was awesome to find this and to see this verse was in my life for years before I ever "saw" it.
I weeded out alot of stuff I collected from high school. Read through cards I received for graduation and found a letter from a Great Aunt that has since past away, but it was so sweet and it is awesome to have a piece of her handwriting to add to my Family History book. I love collecting things people write because it is like having a small piece of them, the thoughts they had for a moment. So cool!.
Oh man, have you ever found a letter or lists you wrote years ago... hysterical!
Organizing all my pictures and photo albums was a blast too. I found a photo album that Charles (our son) made himself by going through our albums and pulling out pictures he liked. I was funny to see the pictures he had in there. He loves albums and memory books as much as I do. That was kind of cool to see him making his own books...ah. the legacy.
I cleaned out a bunch of stuff I was "trying" to do or hobbies I tried because other people were doing them and they seemed to like it, but I am slowly learning what I like and what things I REALLY want to do and things I Really enjoy doing, those are the only things that I kept in my little treasure closet. And, now I will have time and space to work on them and am anxious to get started on "My new hobby" :) Someone else will be blessed by the two boxes of stuff I will be donating tomorrow.
I am so happy to have all my treasured items organized and accessable again and to have my home efficient and clean.. probably my favorite part of finally feeling good and healthy..
