Old Books
Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
Daily Prompt
I have old books from my mother’s home. More than I can read, and I hope to donate some to a thrift store for others to read, or perhaps use in collage projects.
Not now, in winter. Maybe they will be an Easter gift. They are not “clutter” but perhaps good to share.
In terms of reducing clutter, I have found it helpful to work a little at a time. This morning, after work in the kitchen, I thought:
morning work
for a few moments
everything in place

Think back on your most memorable road trip.
Daily Prompt
Years ago, and for several years, I drove from our small town to the Milwaukee area (Wisconsin USA) to help with my mother’s care.
groceries for Mom
fresh flowers
always on the list
another year
has passed since
my mother’s passing
I sit and quietly read
a book she would like too
lily gardens
lily gardens
in January
I remember
their flowers
in July
and perhaps
because they
will bloom again
now is beautiful too
