Trying to decide what I am going to wear for the upcoming Tim McGraw concert has me reassessing the contents of my closet. I don't want to spend money on something new when I have lots to choose from. I realize that I have been blessed with so many things...great parents, a nice home, food, clothes, my dogs!, good friends, and so many clothes. So, I decided to donate about half of what is in my closet to Providence House. I finally decided what to wear to the concert once there was a lot less to choose from! It seemed like putting things in the donation bag got easier with each item as I began to think about those less fortunate and the situation that so many people in Japan are in today. Grand scale disaster bothers me for a long time. Of course, my dad has called the condition of my bedroom a "grand scale disaster" a few times but I know he was just trying to motivate me to get rid of unnecessary junk.
My oldest brother, Sam, who is a medical sales rep in Houston has decided to make a career change. He got accepted into law school! He wants to be a contract lawyer. My other brother, Michael, also lives in Houston and is a dentist there. (Now he wishes he had listened to my mom about learning Spanish!) I am thinking about moving to Houston one day also. There is so much more to do there.
A good friend of mine just found out that she and her husband are expecting! I am so happy for her! The doctor had told her that for various medical reasons that she would have a hard time getting pregnant. So, this news is a miracle blessing for them!
This blog does not seem to have much continuity but I have just been feeling rather random lately. I guess I am just ready for a break. I didn't even feel like going out with friends this weekend. I just wanted to hang around the house and have some "me" time. In addition to cleaning out my closet I have enjoyed lots of chips and hot sauce (my Favorite junk food!), reading a good book, walking with my dogs, and connecting with friends on Facebook. And, as usual, with another upcoming essay, my mind has been in a turmoil as to what to write about! The topic is always the hardest thing for me to decide. I have really enjoyed this class and am going to miss it when the semester ends. I enjoy reading everybody's blogs and hearing other people's points of view.
I donated a lot of clothes to Providence House also. I don't plan to be pregnant again so I gave away all of those clothes and my bigger clothes for right after I had my kids. Yay for your brother and yay for your friend that is expecting!
ReplyDeleteDonating gives you a great sense of happiness. I have always donated my clothes either to Providence House, or a few of the younger girls at church. It makes me feel accomplished, like I have done such a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your brother and your friends that are expecting. They are all going to have a wonderful life ahead.
One of my projects for break (hahahaha) is to lighten my load by cleaning out closets, etc. I hope I do that--I need to get rid of stuff.
ReplyDeleteRandom is good--and I think that Tim McGraw concert is signalling a shopping trip!
