It has been a very good week in many ways. There are always so many things to be thankful for ... especially if I will just open my eyes to look for them.
The weather has been absolutely beautiful ... a/c is off, windows and blinds open ALL day, 65* in the trailer in the morning, long walks any time of the day. I am greatly enjoying the autumn-like temps while they are here.
Because the weather has been so beautiful, the fall cleaning is going so much faster ... clean walls, clean baseboards, clean window treatments ... and the smell of the outside on the inside. I still have the "catch-all rooms" to clean up ... but so far things are going well. If the weather holds, hopefully we will rent a steam-cleaner and get the carpets done again soon.
Besides the relief from the heat, God provided other ways of relieving stress in my life this week which is a real blessing. There were many things to learn through the stress, but relief is also sweet.
I am thankful for the opportunity to "purge" of things again. God has sold some of our "extra" baggage this week through eBay and in the process of cleaning there is more to sell in the coming weeks! As we watched our neighbors go through the stressful process of a move, we reaffirmed that we want to move one day with the same size truck that we came to NC with. That is not an easy proposition, but the physical and emotional weight that is lifted by living simply is priceless.
