Visitors on a cold winter's day!

Spending the weekend at the cabin and always get to enjoy mother nature!  Our living space at the cabin is actually on the second floor as the main level is a garage and shop - so our deck is off the ground one level - so we don't usually get squirrels up there - but we have them now!  This little guy was a pesky fellow  - well all squirrels to me are pesky - I am not a lover of them - despise them actually - but this guy was too funny!  Kept falling off the patio table - not sure why - maybe too much to drink?? 

And as always we have ALOT of birds - alot!   Love to watch them they are a hoot!

So how is everyone doing on de-cluttering?  I am doing good - I think! 

Well this weekend since I am not at home to do the de-cluttering, I got to thinking...maybe I should de-clutter my mind. 
Like holding onto things I am not in control of and should not probably be holding on to.  Like what other people are doing in their lives.  Instead of worrying about them and trying to help or trying how to "fix" them or why they are doing what they are .... maybe what I should be doing is just letting it go.  It's not my problem anyway.  Why do I waste my time and energy on someone else's problems.  Especially if it doesn't concern me.  And what is even worse is when it is really none of the other persons' problem to begin with.  In short - Drama.  I really don't like it - so today I made my mind up that I am "dumping" about 3 or 4 "issues" floating around in my head.  They are things that I can not change, they do not directly effect myself or any member of my family and are things I should not be involved .. . period.

So I sent a prayer up about the people involved in the issues I am dumping and I must say - I feel much better....not carrying those around - doesn't mean I won't still pray for them - just means I am not actively involved.

Also, decided that I am going to be more positive and upbeat.  It's like excerise for the brain! Ha!  Or at least that is the way I am treating it!   Every day when I wake up in the morning I am going to find 2 positive things to think about - and then at the end of the day be thankful for at least 2 positive things.

I found this today on Facebook and thought I would share it with you...goes with the de-cluttering of the mind...

 

Thank you for stopping by today - I wish you Peace and Blessings for the new year!  I hope you have good health and happiness.

and

I pray you have a calm heart.
