Thought of the Day
I get so tired of all of the hatred in this country right now. And, yes, it comes from both sides of the political aisle. It is just so exhausting. I believe it is so much easier to love than to hate. That does not mean that you have to love everything and everyone but love yourself by letting go of the hatred. If we did that, the world would be a better place. I believe in karma. It has been known to bite me in the ass a few times and I totally deserved it. So, I do not worry about people being punished for this or for that because one day, they will know what karma truly is. I do not need to focus my life on that. These recent floods have devastated so many lives. Whether or not the tragedies that accompanied these flash floods could have been prevented, this is not the time to say things like "you voted for this". Innocent children lost their lives; entire families have been destroyed. I wish we were that country that lifted each other up and not only in situations like this. But, alas, we are not. We're too quick to start blaming everyone else for what happened instead of working through it together. It makes me so angry. I am tired of the hatred. That is all.
One Drawer at a Time
Now that I am, hopefully, done with school, it is time for me to start this process back up. I really have been slacking in this area. But I give myself allowance for that right now haha! But I need to decide which room to start in this time. Every single room in the house could use some streamlining, that's for sure! I think I am going to begin either in the bedroom or my bathroom. Now that I have a roommate, well I have had a roommate for almost a year now, these two rooms specifically are like a sanctuary to me. Not that I have to go and hide or anything when Jason is home. But, sometimes I just need to shut myself off for some privacy. Having things in order will be a calming aspect of that for me. There's just stuff everywhere. Big surprise, I know! So that is where I will start. I will keep you updated on my progress. I know you're thrilled!
That is all.

10 Things That I Collect
I love to collect things. Whether it is searching online or going to thrift and antiques stores, I love the thrill of the hunt for something to add to one of my collections. I realize that I should probably focus on one collection, but alas, I do not. I have many tabs open in my collection mind LOL For this list, I am not including generic groups like "antiques" because that would take forever. I am also leaving off china, crystal and silver because those are for another blog sometime. I enjoy them very much and I'll take whatever gives me joy these days. I hope you have something that you collect. I would love to know!

As I now wait for my capstone presentation to be reviewed to see if I pass, this is something that I must remind myself of.
