Hello Everyone, And Welcome To The Return Of This Blog.

Hello Everyone,

How are you all? Long time, no see.



Yes, a return to this blog is unexpected, but its something I needed in my life at the moment.

I currently still feel overwhelmed by my massive amount of items that are in my home. I feel at this time it is constricting, and as such needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. Hence the return to this blog, and another round of me reducing my items by 1000 things.  Thinking about it, maybe I could make it an annual thing - definitely something to think about that is for sure.

So the plan is that over this next year I will endeavor to remove 1000 things from my life, and God willing not add anything new to the mix.  Not adding new items is especially hard, especially when its books and craft items.

I hope that you will once again come on this journey with me.  Hopefully you can do the challenge along with me.  If you do decide to take on the challenge, feel free to write your progress in the comments below. I am sure to reply with some thoughtful comments, and some encouragement.

Well, enough rambling from me.

Till we meet again, have a great one.

JR.
