So happy that someone else feels the same way. <br /><br />I am ready for the END of summer, but know that won't happen for a couple more months. Hope you and the family are doing well, and that the downsizing will go smoothly.Kathy A.

My mother introduced me to this book years ago as she gave me her mother's copy. Anne's thoughts have been very meaningful to all 3 of us. But, it has been awhile since I've read the whole book. Great words/thoughts for me right now as I'm dealing with the 'too much' situation in my life -- to much in my own house and moving and downsizing my mom's stuff. Hope you are enjoying the end of summer right now. ;-)Claire Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422062718551034294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-27242606326179651042015-08-20T07:50:48.619-04:002015-08-20T07:50:48.619-04:00Rita--This is the issue I have the most problems w...Rita--This is the issue I have the most problems with: too much of the good stuff! I'm pretty good at jettisoning the trivial, annoying, etc., but sifting through all the things I enjoy and want to do is another story.Kathy A.
