Selling off preloved items

By
You know how when you've been living in a place, particularly a house, you tend to accumulate a whole lot of stuff that you don't even remember buying or owning? Yup, this is kind of happening over here right now and as you age, you discover you don't need as many things. Hence, I am and will be trying to sell off some of the things that I think is merely taking up space, don't serve a purpose anymore or can benefit someone else if sold.

And finding myself attaching to those items. Even things that I have never even made use of before and things that I thought only got in the way of life itself. 

Like a painting. I find myself thinking but it's been there since forever, since we've moved in and but the wall looks so different without the painting there. Change and letting go of things is not easy for me, I don't know about the rest of you. Some people like to declutter...and that is why I suffer when it comes to change. 

But slowly, one by one, I WILL let those things go. Like that extra guitar I have in my son's room, a guitar that he doesn't even use....heck, he doesn't even play either one and yet, I am hanging onto the second one for just in case he decides to play a guitar again. I know, I don't understand my brain sometimes too. 

I am staring at some of the things and trying to imagine it in someone else's home and they actually making use of it, causing joy, laughter and happiness. That's what I am hoping for because there are memories attached to these things despite the fact that I don't use or need them anymore.

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

By
Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha

A Sweet Life

By
Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

By
After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...
