My positive for this week is that I emptied out one closet. I figure that before I even find a place, I should get rid of all of the junk I've accumulated. Then, I can begin to pack.

Would you believe I had one closet that went 99% into the garbage? (I'm not a pack rat, but have tons of closets, so when I buy something, I save the box just in case, etc.).

I'm a box saver too Judy...ya just never know if you'll need it...lol

I save boxes too. At least it was an easy decision to get rid of them. When I clean out closets (or the basement) the decisions are difficult sometimes.

They are still once every three weeks. The next one is the 23rd, I believe. And only three more to go! :thumbup:

I wanted to tell you all an amazing thing that happened yesterday. Crystal, Bobby and I had breakfast at a little pancake house in the very small historic town of
Jonesborough near us. We have been there a few times but not even enough for the owners to remember us. It is always just so quaint and nice and everyone is so friendly. When I went to pay for the meal-the owner said it is taken care of-have a nice day. I don't know why--I had not mentioned the cancer--I had on my hat but it was a cold day and I could have just had short hair. I don't know if it was the owner or another customer. Just another one of God's blessings and proves there are lots of good people left. :)

That's wonderful Debbie. You're probably giving off very positive energy and people are always attracted to that.

judy 01-06-2008 11:55 AM

My positive is that I may do another closet today. I called the realtor and left a message because I haven't heard from her. I also got copies of my credit reports and score and they're fine.

I believe in intention mattering a lot. I am holding back a little on moving. I think it's natural and will pass when it passes. Change is scary and stressful and difficult.
I have to get past those negatives before my intention to find a place is strong enough, at which point, God will provide.

That was so sweet of someone. It reminds me of the movie "Pay it Forward". If you haven't seen it it's worth watching.

That movie was SO sad! I just couldn't stop crying. But you're right. It was a great movie and one I think everyone should see at least once.

Janet 01-07-2008 09:09 AM

How wonderful Debbie. A wonderful time out and then a pleasant surprise. How wonderful for someone to do that.

My positive is I feel I'm doing really well with WW. I've just thought about it a lot today and I am doing good.

DianaB 01-07-2008 10:28 AM

Janet, I'm so proud of you. You set goals and work so hard to accomplish them. Girlfriend, spread some of that enthusiasm my way!!!!

judy 01-07-2008 01:25 PM

Janet, that is super!

AngieDoogles 01-08-2008 08:59 AM

Congrats Janet!!

My positive is that my friends and family made yesterday incredible for me. I felt very loved and had a great day. :)

DianaB 01-14-2008 03:14 PM

My positive for today is that I'm finally done with Christmas!!!! Tomorrow I'm going to start putting away all the decorations. This evening I'm going to take pictures of Jaci and Reuger in front of the tree to make into cards for next year. Yeah!!!! I'm finally done!!!!

judy 01-14-2008 03:44 PM

My positive for today is I've done 2 closets, one cabinet and 96% of the kitchen. I still have to polish some silver and wash a very expensive Rosenthal china set that I'd like to sell. These were my Mom's and I have never used them.

I don't know where to sell the china. Some options are eBay, an eBay store(they do it all for you and take a cut), Replacements.com or try an antique store near me and see if they'll do it on consignment.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Anyway, I feel like I've gotten one room done! I have 4 more rooms, 4 more closets
3 bookcases, a huge wall unit. and then 2 desks and probably some other things.

One thing at a time and it will get done.

Janet, I keep remembering your summer to do list that you worked your way through
and Tink's search for soil. That was you Tink, right?
