Have my son Jim remove all the air conditioners from the windows - NOPE!
Clean the windows in the Living Room, Bedroom and Den - NOPE!
These were deferred til next Tuesday as we had many days in September where it was over 80 degrees...
Be in contact more, whether through messages, texts, phone calls or visits with more family members....
Another Possibility is that I HOPED to Shop my own home...
And I think I have been doing that with trying to use the things I have in different rooms and in other ways....
Sometimes just the simplest things can bring you JOY.....
Like seeing the beautiful sunsets from my front porch and discovering that those begonias had reseeded themselves and were growing amongst my faux flowers....
Watching more You Tube decorating videos for inspiration is also on my Possibilities List and I have been playing catch up on a lot of the Halloween videos...
One You Tube personality that I really love watching is Jean E....
She just turned 78 and her husband is 81 and they still go to yard sales every weekend, continuing to collect their "treasures" as she calls them...
Jean decorates her home for every Holiday with reckless abandon and I Love it!
Here is a link to her video of her Living Room decorated for Halloween....
In each of her videos, she encourages everyone to "take a few moments in your day to do something that you love because it will make you happy and everyone else around you happy....
Even if it is something that only takes a few minutes.....
I have been taking her wonderful advice as I have also been trying to Live Intentionally....
" Living intentionally means consciously aligning your daily choices and actions with your personal values, beliefs, and vision for your life, rather than being passively influenced by external forces or circumstances. "
"It involves identifying what truly matters to you, taking ownership of your decisions, and using that clarity to create a life of purpose, meaning, and satisfaction on your own terms..."
Now that I am a widow, I have been working on redefining what the rest of my life will look like....
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
