Sweet Simplicity....

It is certainly that time of year for me when the closets seems stuffed, the windows need cleaning, the patio needs a face lift and

summer becomes imminent...
Yesterday while looking for an item that I 'knew I had'

I found that I had apparently put it 'somewhere safe'

so I wouldn't lose it -- worked out well, didn't it?
Will probably find it in mid-December.....
Made me stop and think.....what do I need 'all this stuff' for?
Years ago in our military life in Europe,

we discovered how much we could really 'do without'.
I seemed to have forgotten that lesson!
....When one has so many 'things' that one can not find the 'thing'

one needs when they need it....
Simply put.....One has TOO MANY things!
Oh, Lord, help me get back to the 'Sweet Simplicity' of life!!!
