this year's spring cleaning is really a clearing out
it is hard to imagine how many things a couple
will hang on to and now that I am alone
the things- have less meaning
so I have been busy clearing out =
papa hubby was a keeper of things
and he often kept them in various places
so I run into things all the time
some times it is a good find
like yesterday finding a special silver dollar
from the royal canadian mint- 2006
complete in case and unopened
made of fine silver
it is to celebrate something but I
can not guess what and I do not want to dig
it out of the case right now - need gloves for that
that was papa hubby's rule--LOL
then to day I found that we paid all our household
bills in 2000 - so I shredded them with no gloves
I found a quote also but with no author
I will share it with you as I think that it
applies well to my new life
LORD, PLEASE GIVE ME COURAGE AND STRENGTH TO WALK ALONE, SO I MAY TURN EACH STUMBLING BLOCK INTO A STEPPING STONE.
I am doing that as I move in this journey- some days I stand still--
some days I fall down- some days I get up and some days I take a step
but I always stay with my SHEPHERD-
I will continue to clear out as I move along this journey
have a wonder filled day tomorrow
and pause for a moment to tell someone
you love- that you love them and give them
a meme hug

I love the quote you shared and plan to post it as a permanent fixture on my own blog. I too have started the 'clearing out' process. On some days, I can get a lot accomplished; on others, I just sit and cry over every item I touch. I'm praying for you as you move forward. I know the lonliness and pain, but also the joy of your journey. May the Lord be with as you go....
Many hugs............

Meme, love and prayers to you today. You said, s"ome days I stand still--
some days I fall down- some days I get up and some days I take a step
but I always stay with my SHEPHERD." And all days you are courageous. Your love for God and His faithfulness to you have given you great strength. You are an inspiration.
Many blessings.
Andrea
