There are a few things I'd like to blog about today. I'd love to have made a downsize connected to the once in a lifetime opportunity that we fell into last night. But alas, I came up empty when it came to downsizes related to meeting Mr. Bill Cosby in his dressing room. I'd also be happy to blog about all of the people I know who walked and/or ran this weekend in events across the country to show their support for the fight against Breast Cancer. I might even be able to share a bit about my friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and the battle that she has ahead of her. Once again, I have come up empty. No pink ribbons or long locks to donate tonight.
Instead, I have plodded along the road of this challenge once again. In a mundane effort I took a bag of toys to the church nursery today. End of story. The only drama involved in this event was the look on my face when I discovered that once again Shayla has refused to part with her childhood possessions. She literally removed a few toys that I had packed and ready to be donated and placed them back in circulation in our toy room. Her theme song should be "I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys 'r Us Kid..."
For a moment, I thought about throwing in the towel on this challenge. But then (with some nudging from my husband) I sat down to pound away on the keyboard. Perhaps boring, mundane downsizes are the most important part of this journey. Only time will tell...
Don't give up....I enjoy reading each downsize every night...you can do it!!! Amber
ReplyDeleteDon't give up Amy. You're doing a great job, and I love reading everyday too!
ReplyDeleteThis part of the challenge is call The Dip. The honeymoon early days are over and there's a stretch here where you've just got to plow ahead. Keep going, Cuz, you'll end up back on an upward swing soon.
