This week's FlyZone is the bathroom and one other room. I have done some decluttering in the bathroom, but have REALLY made progress in the One Other Room. I chose the Treadmill room. I have completely decluttered the bottom part of the closets in there. I was a sorting machine. The guest bedroom is now packed with boxes to take to Goodwill. I plan to make that trip after lunch. I am so proud of myself because I made some very hard decisions about what to part with. Odd, though, once the decision was made, I wondered why I really wanted to hang onto that stuff in the first place. The only things left in the closet are 2 tubs full of Harold's memorabilia and on top of that are the kids' trophies from 4-H. I will be asking them to take those - the trophies, not Harold's stuff. It is so freeing to look into the closet and not see it packed with stuff. I have emptied 6 totes of stuff.

Word of the day:
Thursday after Ash Wednesday
Today the Church celebrates : St Flavian, Bishop and Martyr (+ 449)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 9:22-25.

He said, "The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised." Then he said to all, "If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself?
