Linus: Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.

I know, I know...it's been weeks and weeks...but, it seems my life has become so much more complicated since I started back to work full time. I have been steadily decluttering. Still more the "tortoise" than the "hare" in my decluttering race, but I hope that means the changes will be lasting!! I have found a new blog to share with my followers who also are struggling with clutter issues. It is called 365 Less Things. I love it! She is focusing on reducing by getting rid of one item a day, but also by not bringing new items into her home. Using what she has. They aren't new concepts, but they are ones I think our materialistic society has lost touch with. I have lost touch of. My mother was a child of the depression. I grew up with a "use it up, wear it out or do with out" mentality. I think that mentality mixed with all the STUFF that modern life brings has left me with way too much clutter. Stuff comes in...it doesn't go out because I just might "need" it "someday." I've had to relearn to be selective about what I choose to bring into my home. And for those things I already have, decide "is this worth saving or will it be better sent out into the universe to be used by someone else?" Check out her blog, I think you will find her refreshing!
And, since it is Halloween...AND the weekend...I HAD to bring you some smiles. You know you been missin' them!!

Deb, still decluttering....slowly but surely!
