#My Time Week 31 – Tying up loose ends

Some de-cluttering going on at home – the pig barn (my studio in the garden) is looking great even if that does mean our conservatory has become a dumping ground.  With my mother’s passing just over a week ago, and gearing up for her burial (she’s asked for no funeral, just a simple prayer over the grave), I’m pleased to benefit from how much she has already sorted things to save us any difficulty.  She was a lady in control for most of her 90 years, only having to give in to the restrictions imposed by her frailty in her last few weeks and she has left us with no need for some huge sorting or difficult decisions and although we will need to dispose of some things and select some keepsakes, her affairs and belongings are very much in order.  So, I’m taking a lesson from Mom for #MyTime.  I plan to deal with things that need to be dealt with, to use up things and pass them on and surround myself with whatever I need or want.  If I’m not going to reuse and revisit, then why keep hold of “stuff”.  OK, I might regret it from time to time but better to have the clear view that comes from less clutter.
