Where does the time go?<\/p>\n<p>I had such good intentions of getting a lot done this month, but seem to have put off what I needed to do in lieu of doing what I wanted to do&#8230; again! It&#8217;s difficult to muster up the energy to work in garage trying to get things straightened out. My husband and I both know there are many things we simply have got to part with &#8211; hopefully not so we can make room for new things to put out there!\u00a0Every once in a while we go through a &#8220;Let&#8217;s downsize.&#8221; phase, but we never actually do anything concrete about it.<\/p>\n<p>We have several boxes of our children&#8217;s most prized toys out in our garage, as well as boxes of different holiday knick knacks out there (or is it nick nacks?). At Easter time, I sifted through all of our decorations and was able to just about fill the second seat of our car with bags I quickly took to Goodwill. I knew if I didn&#8217;t act fast, I would start to get sentimental, and repack all of those Easter items, remembering special times in our past.<\/p>\n<p>As for the downsizing, every time we think we might be happier in a smaller house, we are reminded of how much we enjoy living in a house where we have the room for everything to be in its place. You know what I mean? If I need to mend a shirt, I know exactly where the thread and needles are. If I want to make a puzzle, I know right where our puzzles are kept. I guess it&#8217;s the familiarity of our house&#8230; our home.<\/p>\n<p>So, my husband and I have decided that since we are in the throes of another humid and hot summer, we&#8217;ll put off going through the garage until next fall. Of course, these hot, clammy days last as late as the end of September\/early October, which somehow makes me feel better knowing. This way, at least we aren&#8217;t procrastinating! (Reasoning makes me feel oh-so-much less guilty!)<\/p>\n<p>How about you? Are there any other procrastinators out there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems to me that it was just the beginning of May, and here we are, tomorrow is June.
