Anniversary With Myself

June 25, 2009 by Gilly

Yesterday would have been my first anniversary without a husband and I knew I would be depressed and have a really bad day if I didn't find a way to cope in a positive way.
So, I decided to take the room my husband had been using and make it into a craft room for myself. I used to work in the dining room and always wished I could have my own craft/sewing room where I would have the space for all my supplies instead of having to run all over the house gathering my odds and ends for every project. Flowers were stored in the laundry room, material in my bedroom, etc.

Major Decluttering

June 23, 2009 by Gilly

Today a huge truck came and took the giant dumpster out of my driveway! It left with the yucky contents of my cellar and the broken pieces of a 35 foot camper.
While my husband was alive we were not allowed to throw anything away even if it was useless, broken junk. He wasn't always like that - he used to throw away anything that wasn't nailed down. What happens to people? How and why did he become a hoarder? I guess it doesn't matter, it happened and now it's over.

TV Therapy

The weather here has been horrrible for the last two months - rain, rain, and more rain. Maybe because I'm a sun sign (Leo) I get depressed when I don't see any sunshine for long periods of time. Anyway, gloomy weather for me equals gloomy thoughts, boredom, lack of motivation, and self pity.

At this time of the year, after our long, cold winters I want to be outside planting flowers and enjoying some nice weather.
