It’s snowing here. Like enough snow that I’ll even call it a good snow.
.
I made a snow angel yesterday. As I fell back into the snow, the world went WHOOSH …. quiet. The way that only happens when the world is filled with snow. I lay there enjoying the release of everything in that moment while I made a snow angel. While the snowflakes poured out of the sky and onto my face.

Today begins the Easter season. I’m conflicted about Easter being that my Dad and my Grandpa both died at Easter time. Now I have the lossof Maddie to add to that season of the opposite of joy.
.
People are giving up facebook … chocolate … red meat … I thought on it and decided that I will work on releasing things that aren’t workin’ for me anymore.
.
I’m reading some pretty book about simplicity – one of the things it talks about is letting go of one thing makes room for another – so the potential is there to release something that is just okay and it may well be replaced with something f’awesome.
.
Last night I released 11 facebook apps that I just didn’t need. That weren’t really bringing me any joy. Today I will take care of clutter in my living room.

(forgive the typos – my computer screen is borked and I need to send it in to be fixed – and I’m feeling lazy about scrolling to fix things.)

I love this idea, of letting go of things you just don’t need anymore. Not sure how I can incorporate it into my own life, but I’m going to try to think of something.

Great idea! I’ve got two Lenten Intentions this year: (1) being kinder to myself (lots of things i say to myself that i would never let anyone say to a friend); and (2) blow the dust off my once-a-day Bible reading book.

What book’re you reading? I’m all into the simplicity reading!

Good for you! I need to come up with something to give up for Lent, not sure what yet.

Aww…girl, I’ll be praying for ya (had our 5-Year Lost Dad Ann’y last week – Valentine’s Day funerals kinda suck).
Do share the book you are reading. I really need to get more simple with my life. I feel like life kinda takes over and causes us to get off focus. I did widdle down my RSS just last week. I added/deleted a few people who I really feel I connect with – who are genuine and care. Which is why I was brought here….
Again, thinking of you lady 🙂
