We've made great progress in our decluttering. The nine rooms and hallways are freed!!! So many blessings have come from all of it. The house is easier to clean, folks know where things go most of the time and we're all happier. I still have some training to do on making sure we put things where they go and we pick up right after we are finished with something but we are well on our way to a home that is easier to manage.

The outer rooms (there are five of them) are next on the agenda. These rooms are unheated and have little lighting so we need to work on them when it's not too cold and during the daylight hours. We are awaiting a dumpster which will be a huge blessing as there is much to get rid of. We are looking to turn one of the rooms into a business which Roy has been working very hard in and made huge progress. It will be tremendous to not have to do all of this when the weather allows us to be outdoors more. Since we moved here we thought it would be best to clean out those rooms in the spring but there is so much to do outside in the Spring with all the gardens and such that this will be better.

Yesterday I had two teeth surgically removed. I'm a bit sore but so thankful that the Lord worked out all of the details (I would have otherwise had to wait until September) to have it done yesterday.

My children have once again proved how terrific they are. I came from the surgery with the couch ready for me. They loved on me all day. I'm so spoiled! :)

I've been reminded over the past several days that I am not to take the everyday blessings for granted. The breath I take, the protection from the blizzards, the food. Oh so much. The Lord is so very good!
