Reasons to be cheerful

I was ready for a road story but I changed my mind. In fact I changed my mind again so I will do it,
just not now. It’s my prerogative deal with it!……..unless I change my mind then I’ll deal with it.

I awoke fresh as a daisy and thrust myself in to the day, then I sat down to read my e-mails and decided on a change of plan. I looked at my blog and was about to start to ramble and rant when I noticed it had gone beserk in the last 24 hours thanks to the wonders of Alpha Inventions, an ingenious idea by a bright young chap where your blogs are posted in blogosphere for all to see….it’s a kind of cyber sighting for random writing.

Yesterday got a little manic so I didn’t get to post anything which is unusual for me. I’ve decided to clear out my clutter……. which should see me left with near nothing. It’s all become very exciting though, crap I ‘think’ I acquired for a reason has become redundant….and it only took me 20years to realize it. Then again I was never one to reason with reason, what seemed unreasonable then seems reasonable now. Everything for a reason, eh. Cars, clothes, gadgets , furniture……..out with the old, in with very little! I will soon be able to dance nimbly on tiptoes without falling over my Lion King slippers, broken electrical devices that I never did get round to fixing and every other equally useless object which I acquired for a ‘reason.’ How many times have I threatened to get rid but……. there was alway a reason not to. I’m still trying to work out how I ever justified this to myself, how I explained it all away. I must have had a reason. It’s just me and Batman left with the one suit now.

So now that I have applauded myself over clutter clarification I’m adopting that as a life philosophy, have what you need not what you think you need to have. Simplifying is good, I’m a good simple Tone.

    There’s always a reason to be cheerful, with or without clutter. For starters, you aren’t Dame Thatcher’s consort.
    The clutter gives you a chance to re-live some of it, before you toss it in the bin. It works for me and I’m tossing out another bin today.

    Be of Good Cheer.

    Cheers David, the slower the process the better it feels, each day a
    little more sneaks out…

    May your bins be full. Rock on Alpha Inventions, great stuff
