[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

My barn ally fed River today, so I didn't have to go to the barn. I am very glad that she's helped me through this winter of miserable hay, and that she is still willing and able to help out.

A good phone conversation with my Mom.

Waking up today with all of the cats on the bed. This has happened a little more often lately, and it's a big deal because Celeste hated Fatty so much that Fatty stopped coming to bed with everyone. I really missed having Fatty in bed, because he's a big snuggle bunny, so hopefully now we can all sleep together again.

Getting a bit of cleaning/sorting done. I miss having my goal for decluttering, because that goal helped me a lot in keeping track of progress with keeping at least even with the stuff in the house. I lean towards being a hoarder/recreational shopper, and it's hard to find balance.

I've started getting ready for my husband's parents, who might visit in May. I've started so early, because what I have to do isn't so much "cleaning" as putting piles of stuff away so that I CAN clean. Partly I have to sort things into things to toss, donate, or keep, and it's hard for me to confront the issues surrounding having so many things.

I do now have some things to go to the thrift store.
