Busy Day!

My dear friend Kelly, over at Charming Chatter, has continued her “Word Up” activity for the new year of 2012!!  My word last year was “Savor”…and I did allot of savoring last year!  It’s taken me a few days to decide on a new word.  My word  finally found me today!  “Simplify”!!  As I am finally retiring from teaching at the end of this school year after 34 years in education, it will be really important for me to simplify a whole lot of my life!!  I am really looking forward to it, too!!

OK, I did think I was going to do some sewing today…sigh…it didn’t happen!  But, that was my choice, because I chose to redo my closet instead!  I always get the re-organize bug every January…  do you?  Get the urge to clean out, redo, clear out, thin out, SIMPLIFY… 

So, have you EVER seen a messier closet??

I bought some of them at Tuesday Morning and some at TJ Maxx….two great stores to putz around in!!  I do so love the “hunt”!

Anyhoo, after a few hours of sorting and tossing and re-organizing, it looks so much better…cleaner… prettier!!  YAY!

What did you do today??  Something fun?

MUF’s Girls Word Up!

word up

Kelly over at Charming Chatter,

the leader of the new group

MUF girls

has asked us to come up with a word… in Kelly’s own words- “We're choosing a word the identifies what we'd like to see more of in our lives in 2011 - what we want to cultivate in our lives!  It's a word to reflect on throughout the year - and to help us "live our best life" as Oprah would say!”

I’ve been thinking of special words all week… trying to decide which word best defines what I hope to do allot of this year.  Of all the words floating in my mind- one kept coming up over and over…

SAVOR.

I want to savor my favorite things-

take time to relax and enjoy the special moments…
