Everything Old Is New Again

Began thinking about the holidays coming up

 and in that spirit I set

the family room back to the way

 I had it for years, 

with a small table smack in the middle

 and chairs in the corners

 to accommodate extra bodies.

(that largest bread board was in sale this weekend, no one bought

and look it's perfect here in new arrangement! kismet)

It worked well then, and will again.

This small table under the window 

can hold my real tree

 again like last year.

When you catch yourself standing in

the corner with a smile on your face, 

you know it's right.

I hung out with gal pals at a garage sale 

cross town on Saturday.

Came home with two less tubs of stuff.

Some of you who I "council" via email,

keep at it, bit by bit like I am - you'll get there.

I also DRASTICALLY  opened up

the den/computer room.

Removed carpet, large chair etc.

Placed larger table in here for desk, much better!

Breath of fresh air. 

LOVE it this way.

(btw not lifting anything, sliding all across floor)

(Howie says who dat?)

It's funny how folks are dismayed by my

obsession with less. 

But I have a plan and goals to reach,

and it has only been exacerbated by the

lunacy/treachery of 45.

 Didn't feel like packing up my trees

 and then unpacking in a month, 

so I left them sitting here on the left wall of the den.

ahhhhhhhh

it's good
