Take to the Safe Center 

I am so grateful we started to make a dent in our operation "get rid of" ..... Reduce, reuse, de-cumulate, give to someone that can do more with it;););).
Every year we accumulate more stuff, more stress and more of a footprint on this tiny universe of ours.

Today we made a commitment and followed through to start parting of our stuff to the appropriate place .......and we washed the dog:):):)

Shreddings and Recyclables

Donate, Sell or Giveaways :)

365 Days of Gratitude Rollover day 48

I am grateful for this time of year when just for a few moments (if you are lucky, hours) things, people and expectations slow down.  People stop and reflect on the years achievements, setbacks and overall summation of where they have been and where they want to go for the next year.
It is an ominous thought as to all we have on our plate at times so when we get to take a step back and stop and breath I am grateful for that :):):)
