Stealing Time

Hello 

Yes! I'm stealing time - to post. There are several things, important things I should be doing but, I miss y’all. Hi, Hey, and Hello to you . . . one and ALL!

I really do miss you all when I’m away (from blogging). So, that's why I'm stealing this time to post this simple hello. I just had to check-in long enough to say, "Hi" to all.

Thankfully, I got a few things done while away from blogging though. I decluttered a couple of drawers and cabinets in the kitchen and in my bathroom. I threw away some items around the house that were no longer useful or needed. 

I washed, dried, and put away a couple of loads of bath towels and dish towels that had started to grow bigger and bigger. 

AND, OH . . . there’s more, but I’ll stop here. I’m getting tired all over again just writing it all down.


That done, another “something-to-do” popped up. It was important and needed immediate attention. Oh well . . . 


Anyway, that's my story. I'll be back blogging as soon as possible. 

What are you up to these days? How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was NICE, quiet, and Blessed! Thank God for that!

  1. It feels good to get things done, but give those 'things' an inch and they'll move in and take a mile of your time and energy!

  3. There will ALWAYS be "something to do". So if something isn't broke, blog away!

  6. Decluttering is vital. I'm not successful at it though. I move things from one place to another and postpone getting rid of them. That leads me nowhere.

    1. Yes, Cloudia, my adult daughter and I laughingly quote this phrase to each other whenever life's circumstances become overwhelmingly challenging. BUT we are SERIOUS at the same time. Thank you for coming by and for commenting here. I really appreciate it.

  11. You're not "stealing" time, you earned it by getting all that necessary-but-dull stuff done. It's the time not spent doing fun things that is truly wasted. Thanks for posting.

    1. Hey, Infidel. Thank you for the perspective that . . . I "earned it (the time to blog) by getting all that necessary-but-dull stuff done". That "sheds-a-new-light" on it for me. Thank you for this great comment!

      It makes me smile that you made the time to come by to read here and to comment. I appreciate this a lot.

  12. Decluttering is always on my to-do list, but unfortunately rarely done. Every time I think of throwing something away, I also think, I'll bet I can find a use for this some day. Sometimes I think of my house as a hoarder's paradise. We had a nice Thanksgiving but it's going to get stressful from now on with Christmas not far away.

  13. Hey there, Dave. I too used to think "I can find a use for this someday". My youngest grown son got me out of the habit when he informed me that he would help me declutter/organize but, if I tried to save or keep EVEN ONE item, he would stop helping me. LESSON LEARNED!

    It’s so nice that you made the time to come by to read here and to leave this comment. Thank you for stopping by and especially for this great comment.
