sometimes i feel so very blessed. when i'm looking at my children sleeping between me and my husband. my daughter holding on to her brother, snuggled into him and caleb snuggled into me. my man's arm around them both. why has the LORD given us so much and others so very little? it's moments like that i can't thank him enough for letting us have children after trying for so long, and an entopic pregnancy. Meanwhile their are children starving, families living on the street in this cold winter weather. It just makes me want to do more.
i've decided i don't need all these material possessions. what i need is a home for my kids, welcoming and safe for them both. but i have too many things, lots of unnecessary clutter. I want to find that balance of enough so my home doesn't feel sterile but without the collections.
To simplify my life. So that it's about the things i love and not everything else. i love to travel. i don't need lots of vases and candle holders and kitchen stuff, and linen, etc. I'm planning to radically change my life. Be healthy, enjoy the outdoors, and have a place to rest our heads and gather as a family. Home should be simple. So i'm going to go thru each room and purge.
But i realised i need things on the wall. photos and paintings. And texture and plants. It means making things more. And not collecting stuff for one day. But on that day when i need it, I can just get it. But not before!
