[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 551589, member: 13542"] The weather where we live is pretty consistently nice, warm days, no humidity, cool nights. We get a rainy season which usually starts in Oct. or Nov. We weren't impacted by the heat waves and rain. The Fall brings my birthday and this year a whole lot of energy which had formerly been utilized surviving my daughter's crazy life. I have been jamming through projects with gusto! When my mother and granddaughter were both living with me, I had to rearrange my world to include theirs so everything was moved around and stuffed into spaces to accommodate them. Now that Mom has moved, I spent 2 weeks clearing out my bedroom and going through files and drawers in the office, getting rid of a lot, donating a lot, clearing out a lot. It feels good to do that. We've had all the carpets cleaned and we've gone through closets and removed everything that isn't used. I've gotten back to my more minimalistic environment, which I prefer. Little by little we're clearing out our 'stuff'. I always have a list of things to do and for the first time in a long time that list is getting done! I feel as if I am now surrounded by healthy people, all of the mentally ill ones in my family are no longer in my direct sphere, they are all in their own orbits. I'm not sure that's ever happened before so I am truly enjoying this time! Getting a lot done, having a lot of time, feeling relaxed and peaceful, enjoying the moments and feeling very, very grateful! I'm not sure what the Christmas card list is, but count me in. [/QUOTE]
