We are now into the first week of 2019.
I am hungry for chocolate π«
& thirsty for wine π· but I sit with
my water πΆ reading through my favorite blogs.
Four of them extolling the virtues
of starting the New Year with a
Whole House / Whole Head purge.
There is even great fanfare for a full reality show
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo π§Ή on Netflix!
I am here to tell everyone to π¦slow down a bit.
Over the summer π my sister sent three boxes π¦ of
items my mother carefully saved π over the years.
My sister did not want the “clutter” any longer.
The boxes were full of Grandmother Eleanor's glassware π₯π·π₯
wrapped in yellowed newsprint π from 09/21/2003, long after her death.
There were photos of my Grandmother Jenny, whom I never knew
and of her mother left in Sweden πΈπͺ when Jenny immigrated.
There was a teacup and saucer ☕️.
Then shoes ---
Mine ….
And my mothers
These treasures I shall never purge.
So go to your closets, junk drawers, garages and proceed
with . great . care.
I will purge the need to purge and eat my π₯¦ instead.
XO ~ holly
