As many of you faithful followers have read over the past few weeks I have moved and now for the most part have unpacked many of the items I brought with me from my most recent residence. But the fun is just now beginning as I am delving into boxes that have been in storage for a few years while I have been on my nomadic sojourn.
I was able to place many of my items in climate controlled storage environments; but others were in garages or basements or areas where moisture and temperature fluctuations caused some damage. For example, silver serving platters and many other metal items showed signs of tarnish; but could easily be restored with a little care and polishing. On the other hand, some of my favorite tablecloths, curtains and even shoes met their doom because mold and mildew ravaged their fibers. It would have been better to have given those things away than to have stored them.
There are things in our lives which require us to take them off the front burner; place them on the side line; or shift our priorities to handle other things. While we are handling other life circumstances these things might remain dormant, unused or even forgotten until we can return to them. Evaluate what really needs to be placed in a holding pattern for later use and what things really need to be eliminated, shared or given away because they are not destined to make it through the wait. Store up only those attributes, personality traits and characteristics which will make it in the long haul. They will stand the test of time. Get rid of malice, envy, jealousy and covetedness which will only taint and eat away at the good things in your life.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a power-packed GREAT day! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
