Yesterday was not one of my best days.  I took a chance and told you all.  Sometimes being an owner of a blog, groups, and pages tends to place unnecessary pressure upon one self.  I don’t want to fail you.

I am a real person just like you.  I just decided to make a blog, have some groups and pages.  It helps me as well as I hope it helps you.

So yesterday I opened up.  I have been spending every waking moment outside gardening like it is the last nice day before winter.  That is how bad I dislike winter.   It was a hot day and I couldn’t be outside.  Sure I get my basics done but the clutter started piling up.

Yesterday I wrote the blog I Am Surrounded By Clutter!  Since I couldn’t go outside I was faced to look at how the clutter had built up again.  I am so glad that I did because a flysister Christine reached out and helped me get out of my funk.  She said keep only the things you love.  If stuff was given to you that you don’t love don’t feel obligated to keep it.  There is a reason they gave it to you.  Usually it is because they don’t want it.  Maybe it was a poor buying decision or if it is clothes that don’t fit any more and feels if given to you, they don’t feel like they wasted their money or gained weight. They can always give the things to a family member or close friend.  The question is, are they really doing you a favor?  Many times there are underlying reasons that create tension in other areas.   The other question is do you both have the same taste in things?  Sometimes, but many times not.  Is all of this worth the drama to go through and strain relationships?  Of course there may be some things you like of theirs and  you can say if you ever want to get rid of it I will take it.  What is wrong with that?  If you have a good relationship with them why put strain on it over things?  Is it really worth it?  So many times not.  Instead enjoy each other and don’t try to push something on to each other that you don’t want anymore.  They have places called Donation Centers.  They were created for a reason.  Use them and maybe invite your mom or your friend out for lunch more and just talk about silly things and dreams and anything but “I have this, do you want it?”  Then the other person always seems obligated to say yes.  When they say no the other person gets upset.  Do you really want to live that way?  I have decided I don’t anymore.
Keep FLYing!
