Well, January is just about gone. It has been one of the coldest I can recall. The temps are picking up now and feeling more like spring. It put me in mind of flowers blooming, planting gardens, etc.  There will be no garden here for me, as those days are long gone. Still I will try and plant a few plants in pots  or in the ground near my porch. But not until after Easter as I remember the elders suggesting. Easter comes early this year by the way..... On April 1st. I normally refer to Easter as Resurrection Sunday, because of my faith in Christ Jesus. I am so grateful for what he did for us all.

I am still working around the home here , weeding, organizing, and trying to accomplish what I have set out to do.  I mentioned minimalism, but becoming a minimalist, in my own way of thinking, is different from others. I don't want my home so sparse that it doesn't looked lived in! I just want it not to looked cluttered or cause me to feel stressed and overwhelmed. I need to focus clearly on what is in my home and how it may benefit myself and my home, as well as visitors who may drop by from time to time.
To be totally honest with you, my faithful readers..... I have been recently diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety. I am making changes in many areas of my life as to help me heal. If I have mentioned this already, then please do forgive me for overlooking the fact of doing so.
With all the grief of lost loved ones over the last few years and the crisis in which our family suffered going through a nasty trial and unjust sentence in which my son received, I at least have some understanding of as to the why of my diagnosis.
I was dramatized during "that trial" severely.
So much for that subject..... I can't think on such things.
I do desire your prayers though. I am getting some much needed help now and I am trusting God I will be healed.

On a good note, I am beginning to take an interest in my housekeeping and decorating again. My  mental illness is one reason I am trying to make changes around here. I want to bring some of nature indoors. I will be sharing with you soon as to how I will be doing that. Not in big ways, but small, simple ways.
I am also finding lately that I enjoy very much staying home. I am planning some what of a daily routine for myself. I am hitting and missing at it at this point, but do hope to make it a daily thing for myself. One of the things I am implementing into my daily life is "Taking Tea"....everyday at 3:30. I have really enjoyed this. It is a great relaxation time for me.
It truly is the little things that matter the most! I am finding this statement to be even more true than ever.

I have chatted enough for this time my friends. I'll be back soon. Thanks so much for your kindness in the way of visiting and commenting.
Your comments are a blessing. Please forgive me for not replying back as much as I should. God bless you all and do come again, with love  Shelley
