THURSDAY. Plans for the day are in the works. Keeping it simple. I understand that it is for the best to keep daily plans really simple. Focus on doing less to accomplish more.
I will be boxing up the dishes from my Grandma's hutch. When I get this far, then more of the boxes will be gone through and Lord willing I'll get a handled on this HOARDER APPEARANCE OF A HOUSE. I have to make progress. Have to. I am not a hoarder, but at the moment it would be hard press to convince anyone otherwise.
It truly bothers me that the place is so messy. I know the history behind being so far behind and yet I cannot completely relax about any of this. Perhaps this is adrenaline pumping through me agitating and keeping me going to get this taken care of. Perhaps. Perhaps this is part of why I have high blood pressure and so much fatigue. I have no one to blame but myself.
The work continues around here getting everything in order and downsizing. I'm praying that I can speed up getting this task finished. Other things need to happen in LIFE. This is an ongoing dilemma. Making sense out of this all. I'm inching along very slowly.
I had hoped to be further along on having the COTTAGE settled into before THANKSGIVING. Looks like it'll be CHRISTMAS before this happens. Just being real. Wish it were behind me.
Gathering some other tidbits
that's interesting to me.

buon giorno ,,, ti seguo da un pò e mi spiace per tutta la fatica che fai ... per tutto ... sono italiana ho solo un paio d'anni più di te, ci siamo sposati ... il 31i agosto 1974! come voi! e abbiamo 3 figli e 5 nipoti (dai 22 anni ai 10 mesi dell'ultimo) abbiamo avuto la nostra dose di fatiche, problemi, dispiaceri e anche tante gioie!, ovviamente qualche patologia non manca nemmeno a me! a noi ...è da tanto che penso di permettermi di di invitarti a prendere in considerazione "la dieta mediterranea" quella vera! quella che è patrimonio universale immateriale mondiale (UNESCO) non fa miracoli, ma è la migliore, facile da seguire ... cera in in internet e e trova la " nuova aggiornata piramide della dieta mediterranea" spero possa aiutarti ... e mi permetto pure di invitarti a eliminare quante più "cose" possibili che non siano "davvero utili o diano piacere perchè belle" magari ricordi, vivrai meglio, credimi; non è il numero degli oggetti che conserviamo a mantenere i ricordi ... non sprechiamo la vita accumulando, continuando a comprare per poi ... essere sommersi ... e poi quando non ci saremo più ... che enorme incombenza per i figli! ho adottato lo stile di "Vita Semplice" e non ne sono pentita, non ci manca nulla, una casa con spazi sufficienti non di più ... nulla ci manca e ci godiamo questi anni d'oro : riduci, semplifica e accontentiamoci di quel che abbiamo i nostri tesori non sono gli oggetti che accumuliamo ma gli affetti che costruiamo (amici compresi) ... fine della predica (affettuosa) qui sta per nevicare, niente passeggiata, iltapis roulant mi aspetta o forse un pò di esercizi di ginnastica (in casa!) e poi preparerò una calda e confortante zuppa di legumi (secondo le ricette della dieta mediterranea ...) auguri che possiate presto sistemare tutto e godevi la casa,la famiglia e la VITa
What a treat to hear from you. Translated your message: Good morning,,, I've been following you for a while and I'm sorry for all the effort you make... for everything... I'm Italian, I'm only a couple of years older than you, we got married... on August 31, 1974! like you! and we have 3 children and 5 grandchildren (from 22 years old to 10 months of the last one) we have had our share of hardships, problems, sorrows and also many joys!, obviously some pathologies are not lacking for me either! us... I've been thinking for a long time about allowing myself to invite you to consider "the Mediterranean diet", the real one! the one that is a world intangible heritage (UNESCO) doesn't work miracles, but it is the best, easy to follow... search on the internet and find the "new updated pyramid of the Mediterranean diet" I hope it can help you... and I also allow myself to invite you to eliminate as many "things" as possible that are not "truly useful or give pleasure because they are beautiful" maybe remember, you will live better, believe me; It's not the number of things we keep that keeps our memories alive... let's not waste our lives accumulating, continuing to buy and then... being overwhelmed... and then when we're no longer here... what a huge burden for the children! I've adopted the "Simple Life" lifestyle and I don't regret it, we lack nothing, a house with enough space, no more... we lack nothing and we enjoy these golden years: reduce, simplify and be content with what we have. Our treasures are not the objects we accumulate but the affections we build (friends included)... end of the (affectionate) sermon, it's about to snow here, no walk, the treadmill awaits me or maybe some gymnastics (at home!) and then I'll prepare a warm and comforting legume soup (according to the recipes of the Mediterranean diet...) I hope you can sort everything out soon and enjoy your home, your family and LIFE.
