A Valid but Lofty Goal

I found this on Pinterest the other day and it made me pause. I find it very difficult to pare things down to just useful or beautiful. There is the category "might be useful someday", or "might be useful to one of the kids" or "to good to toss", or "what do I do with this" or "I'll just put it away for now"...
I am very good at making new categories.

One road block is indecision. At our last house, we had an unfinished basement which I fondly referred to as "the pit of indecision". It housed all the superfluous stuff.

Another roadblock is taking the time to put things away, as in clean up or file or dispose of or just whatever.  I would much rather move on to the next fun activity. So, this is not my strong suit. How do you manage your stuff?

To Know Your God

We just returned from a family vacation Down Under.
Our middle child, Nick, spent this last semester
at the University of Sydney. We joined him during
Thanksgiving Week spending some time in both
Sydney and at Hamilton Island in the Whitsunday
Islands. Thanksgiving Day was spent snorkeling at
the Great Barrier Reef. WOW! is about all that
comes to mind right now.

The little tiny red roofed building in the photo
was our home away from home for 5 nights.

What a view!

How to Make a Difference

Ah, the last entry for the Stand Up contest.
It has been fun and I have certainly tried
on a bunch of different styles. This is one
of my favorites. As life would have it,
I actually did this one twice because
the first went into the Neverland of
bits and bytes. Failure to save bytes
(pun intended) me in the back side every
once in awhile.

But, whatever, do get out and volunteer.

Moody Blues

This week's contest challenge is to tell a story
using a single color which defines the story. I
chose blue which is a very calming color for me
and, I have never really met a shade of blue that
I don't like.

Can you tell?

My Most Valuable Asset

What is my most valuable asset. That is the question that was posed to me. It is a difficult question to answer. I pondered it for a few days and finally decided that the breadth of my interests is more important than the depth of any one. Here is my graphic representation.

Some Thoughts on Wonderful

A Scrapping challenge -
The task - choose a number but whatever number, there needs to be as many photographs.
This was my entry.

Seven is one of my favorite numbers.
