Have been busy, busy. Got the wild idea that we had to have a yard sale this weekend since it's the only weekend in the next 2 months that we would be home. Unfortunately, I didn't get that Idea til last Thursday. Trying to get a yard sale together in 2 days when I also had an event Friday night was.... well.... I don't want to say stupid because I don't like to be mean to myself, so I'll just say ambitious. Probably crazy is the correct word but it seems overused in my world lately.
Being present in the moment is a wonderful experience. The more I do it, the more I love it. I've spent more moments in the present in the last 5 years than I did in my first 30. (think about that statement for awhile) So much stress, so much ambition, so much baggage gets thrown away in the present moment. No past, no future, just now. Until your gaze focuses on a calendar. YIKES! The present became the future!!! And I wasn't ready! LOL!
So, we somehow threw it all together. We were not very profitable. And even the yard salers were unimpressed. Digression: Aren't yard salers a different breed altogether? Eternal optimists. Searching for gold in other people's cast offs. It was so interesting to chat with them and see the stuff of mine that's been sitting in an attic for years that they want to have sit in their houses. Or attics. Or sell at their next yard sale.
Anyway, the good news Feng Shui wise is that we got rid of a ton of baggage. Not just by selling it which frankly, I don't like to do, usually just give it away but with this whole college thing looming.... but we threw out a bunch and were happy to see the trash pickers take off a bunch and we got a notice that Purple Heart is coming and they can take the rest. Still a bit of stuff we would like to sell so:
Anyone need a large dog crate, garage door, truck cap, unused basketball hoop, ice cream maker, 10 gallon fish tank, gas grill or 4000 books?
Just let me know. I can leave the price tags on if you'd like to skip the middle and just put it straight out for your yard sale.
Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go.....

I have the same problem! I thought I had taken mine off-- they should be gone now.
I'll take some books off your hands!
