Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
That young man who asked for money. He may be a rip off artist. He may be a poor teenager with an alcoholic mother. He may be the head of the family with a father in jail for many crimes. He may be a drug addict. Looking forward to a better year!!!
Many people don't know how to access that kind of help when they are in a crisis. Go with your gut and your heart. Mostly what has been on my mind lately has been my daughter, hoping she will make the right decisions.
THe state of the nation--- That's been what's been on my mind for the last two years. Merry Christmas. And I hope 2019 will be a much happier year for most of us.
Your title is getting rid of stuff? So what's on my mind right this second is, what kind of stuff are you getting rid of and I you enjoying the freedom of less clutter?
Recently it's been the rampant institutional bias/stupidity/insidious discrimination of my employer against a member of my immediate family, which in turn is causing undo stress for Christmas.
I wasn't to move, but this spot allows me to save money I won't have if I move. Also moving would mean I can't quit my job when I get fed up, n I like thinking I can. I will never take for granted again having my own kitchen & bathroom.

ReplyDeleteGive to the Salvation Army Bell Ringers. You can be sure that money goes to help many, many, many homeless and devastated people.
DeleteI agree. Free lance beggars shouldn't be encouraged.

ReplyDeleteFamily foibles. And the people for whom Christmas is NOT the happiest time of year.

ReplyDeleteRegaining access to the Internet.
ReplyDeleteOn my mind most? Why the heck did we keep so much stuff and how did we end up with so much stuff after downsizing so vigorously.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that Granny Annie used to share so much of her life with us and now she's just asking questions of us. That's what I'm thinking...
ReplyDeleteFar too much! A de-cluttering is necessary!
