Have been thru three scanners and yet still have not got it squared away to do this very thing. Was glad to see another posted it and then to remind me to add it to my 43 Things. Which are actually moving up and up, as I think of more that I can actually accomplish. As opposed to those out of my control.

From a tiny hoard saved from my big move last May, my present pile of possessions is way out of control. Many were donated to me and much I found along the way at thrift stores. Too many clothes (I lost weight and had to buy smaller ones) but I am too worried about having the different sizes in case I go up or down. Too many kitchen goods – too many pots and pans and plastic containerware for the way I live now. No big family and sons at home to cook for and I rarely make much for myself. Too many magazines and saved treasures from travel – mostly periodicals and travel literature for those images I just have to have. Not! Too much stored food, like canned goods bought on sale and 14 boxes of pasta. Aaaack, it is time to cut way back and find homes for things other people can use. I want to live smaller and more meaningfully.

Had many many medical emergencies with my son over the last year and mostly the last six months. Worry and stress can certainly make the pounds drop away like wax melting from a candle. On the positive side, I really was over my ideal weight, and I am happy to be a smaller size now. I wonder what will happen if I get happy again?
