"resolutions"

Every year, we sit around on New Yer's Eve or New Years Day, resolving to change.  Almost never happens in the degree that we wish it to. 

Years ago, I read a book in which they family was making resolutions for each other.  the one brother- who was probably autistic was given  "Pleas ( that was his name) resolves to be happy"

I think that's a good resolution, and one I will try to keep.

I resolve to remember that there is balance in the world, that I can't save everyone and that sometimes the answer to my prayers is "no"

I do want to get my house in order.  I have about  two years before I plan to move, so THAT should give me enough time to get rid of everything and neaten up a little.

It's the 'neaten up" that takes time.   I will be working on one box at a time, tossing, recycling , donating and shredding.  I swear I will be kinder to my shredder.  Yesterday I broke it, but Chris was able to fix it.  Great having a guy who's so handy!

The VietNam Veterans come to your house and pick up the stuff you can't use anymore.  SMALL items.  but they are listed as a very responsible charity so it's a win-win.

Every year I get things that will "help me organize"  Now if I can only find the BOX I put that stuff into, I can get started.....
