Thank you for the words of encouragement! I found out a few days ago that I'm going to have to move. I'm renting a small rental house that belongs to my long-time best friend. She's going to sell it now. So, that means I have to move. I've lived here 4 years... and I've never really unpacked like I've wanted. I don't have a single thing hanging on my walls. It's depressing. I've always felt like this was just my "temporary" home. So, in a way, I've been living in limbo, literally.

I'm actually very excited about moving! It means that I'll have a deadline to finish up sorting through everything. I want to only have to move the things I love having in my home. I've pretty much decided on where I'm going to live, it's a 2 bedroom townhouse with a fenced in yard for my 3 doggie babies and it's in a beautiful community. I'm excited about moving into such a pretty place, and fixing up and organizing my things, just the way I want them to be.

I think I'll plan on moving in a few months. I haven't set an exact date, yet, but it'll probably be in the October time frame.

Sounds like you have been busy.
I too have been busy. I washed 4 loads of laundry.
Put them away.
Cleaned my kitchen
Cleaned out refrigerator,
Cleaned kitchens cabinets out.
Had to do this in 3 days though.
I am so thankful for my health
And my knee is doing better.
Have been walking 4 miles a day with sister.
So, I have a lot to be thankful for.
I praise the Lord for DRS and technology.
Love Arlene

A major declutter was done here this week. I had so many old cords, etc. from old electronics that I had my oldest son help me decide what could be tossed. I kept maybe three. So all of those have been properly disposed of, the container they were in was no longer needed and it is gone. I have also worked outside, clearing dead foliage out of the garden beds. Winter is coming and I want this done before the snow flies.

This weekend is going to be lots of packing up my house to get ready to move next month. My car is loaded down with boxes, but it's raining right now so I can't get them into my house. I have a lot to get done before mom gets here next weekend to help me get all packed up. She's almost 77 years old and she's such a hard worker. I want to get a lot of the packing done before she gets here, so she won't do it all when I'm at work.
