the things i love

okay so gratitude is important and finding inner confidence and being a peace with yourself is essential.. but sometimes ... sometimes I am greatful and just love some things... here they are

1. My small collection of earrings my husband has given me on various occasions - LOVE them - stones of all colours ( thank you winners)

2. My remainging coach bags ( I know everyone has them now - but I have had mine for Years!)

3. My itouch -- it gives reward stickers to my daughter, lets me play mindless games and keeps me in touch with family and friends!

4. My camera - simple click and shoot

5. our Wii -- who knew this could be so fun - and guess what we play it after she goes to bed too!

Thereis so much in life we don't need, Maria just gave me a book of 50 things to throw out, the easy stuff to me is the physical things .. it gets harder when you throw away draining friendships, dreams, or emotional stuff. But I always joke I am the opposite of a hoarder - I purge to excess (things anyways).

Which brings me to my recent "let go" internal work -- feeling good lately, finding laughter, not expecting perfection from anyone and truely having a good time in life. Control freaks like me need constant reminders that we cannot control the world - only you know what -- you better be in the inner circle of that control freak or we won't hear you!

For all of you in T.O enjoy the fresh smell of a city after the rain!
