Hello, Friends!

[Insight329]

I took a bit of an internet break so that I could focus on some much needed Spring Cleaning projects. Wow! I feel like a ton of weight has been lifted from my shoulders (ha, even though I did have a flare - ouch on shoulders and legs, etc. - and went from 9 back to 15mg, I still feel light). So, what have I missed? No, don't tell me -- I'll scroll back. But I will say, I missed you peeps! Hope you all have been well!

We wondered where you were! I always hope it’s good news when someone disappears. Feeling light sounds wonderful.

Thanks, Jane! That’s so nice of you to say!

I had to let go of my pride and ask for help from friends, but so glad I did - but that was difficult for me. I’ve been independent for many years.

I know it’s been mentioned here before, but we really should ask for help when we need it. I feel a ton lighter and ten years younger.

[SheffieldJane in reply to Insight329]

People like to help don’t they? I find it hard to ask too. I am glad you feel amazing. Is it because you have de-cluttered?

[Insight329 in reply to SheffieldJane]

YES (on de-cluttered)!!! Crazy the psychological effect that had on me!

Agree! Is it a feng shui kind of effect, a de cluttered house declutters your mind?

I’ve been trying to keep the main areas clear (those that visitors would see!) and consequently the bedroom becomes a bit of a dumping ground. I think I must address this, as a decluttered mind when I wake would be good 👍🏼

Same here soraya! Just started to attack my dumping ground bedroom. Decided to split it into four and dust, Hoover and clear one section at a time. Half the bedroom done so far. When I go in I just look at the cleared side and I feel better and it spurs me on. All the best cc 🤗

What I find is sometimes doing just that one thing you've been putting off sort of acts like breaking a log jam and the next thing you know you're on a roll! My husband finally threw away some old clothes, and intends to do more. But today he actually tackled the godawful Augean Stables we call our basement without a single word from me! Who could believe that chucking a few old shirts could lead to such a result?

Well done. I need to do one. If it not sorted in by Xmas I will ask my family...and get a big skip (a recycling company).
