- this year's spring cleaning is really a clearing out
- it is hard to imagine how many things a couple
- will hang on to and now that I am alone
- the things- have less meaning
- so I have been busy clearing out =
- papa hubby was a keeper of things
- and he often kept them in various places
- so I run into things all the time
- some times it is a good find
- like yesterday finding a special silver dollar
- from the royal canadian mint- 2006
- complete in case and unopened
- made of fine silver
- it is to celebrate something but I
- can not guess what and I do not want to dig
- it out of the case right now - need gloves for that
- that was papa hubby's rule--LOL
- then to day I found that we paid all our household
- bills in 2000 - so I shredded them with no gloves
- I found a quote also but with no author
- I will share it with you as I think that it
- applies well to my new life
- LORD, PLEASE GIVE ME COURAGE AND STRENGTH TO WALK ALONE, SO I MAY TURN EACH STUMBLING BLOCK INTO A STEPPING STONE.
- I am doing that as I move in this journey- some days I stand still--
- some days I fall down- some days I get up and some days I take a step
- but I always stay with my SHEPHERD-
- I will continue to clear out as I move along this journey
- have a wonder filled day tomorrow
- and pause for a moment to tell someone
- you love- that you love them and give them
- a meme hug
- huggles from Meme

I thank you for sharing the quote today. Having just lost mother and being on this journey to diagnose Nalley, some days are harder to get through without crying that others. I try to remain strong for him. I know the Lord is with me through it all. I have been cleaning closets and drawers also. I have a big load to take to Goodwill when it is not so windy. With time, it is easier to let go of some of the material things. Have a nice day.
What a beautiful post today! I, too, feel that somedays I just stand still, others I fall down, etc. But He is always there, isn't He?! It's so good to watch you getting stronger day by day!
