Although some may not understand this comment I know you will. Finding balance for me has never been an issue or problem... I am laser focused and have excellent time management. Matter of fact I used to teach time management to sales reps. My struggle isn't balance, its acceptance in understanding great loss of loved ones. OK, just keeping it honest in my comment,<br />xoxo,<br />VeraRow homes and Cobblestoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643916045622529275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-58095365698913394712016-10-25T17:38:15.279-07:002016-10-25T17:38:15.279-07:00I love your little felted mouse!!!

I really give a second thought to things I bring home now though. When I am cleaning stuff out and purging, I put out bags to put things in for donation. You could do that with your necklaces or any other items that are too nice to just throw away. Another idea is to sell things through OfferUp. I've been doing a little bit of that lately, too.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-43333309743701755962016-10-19T09:38:59.005-07:002016-10-19T09:38:59.005-07:00Fabulous patina type metal basket that came home w...Fabulous patina type metal basket that came home with you and the beads are really a great idea to use in fall decor.

In fact, today I was at Home Goods with my sisters and a friend. They came up from down South. I saw these darling Johnson Bros. turkey plates. Knowing how I do not need more dishes I really debated. Soon, however 12 of them were in my cart. At the check out the cashier informed me that a lady was in route right now to get them. I said, "oh my gosh, I'm sorry; I took all but one". She said, that's how it is. You snooze you lose. She then told me that she had been in earlier and later called to see if they were still there. I just happened along between the phone call. Sorry, but how was I to know? I would have had them hold them for me.<br />hugs,<br />Jann Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-55429570221519513642016-10-18T19:05:29.535-07:002016-10-18T19:05:29.535-07:00Hi Carol, I agree sometime we just have to break t...Hi Carol, I agree sometime we just have to break the rules.
