I was reading an article on decluttering and how with letting things go you feel better about your "space" and yourself:

"Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect any praise or reward. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom. Your struggles with the world will have come to an end."
--Achaan Chah (quoted in A Grateful Heart by M.J. Ryan)

Thanks Heather ~ kindda deep.....had to read it twice to make sure I really grabbed what it was saying....where do you find these things?!?! Think I might forward this to GW too.....

It is "deep" isn't it?

I just seem to stumble across things like this!

That was a great thought Heather. Although the other day I was decluttering a bit and let go a bit much. I threw out a $88 prescription with some trash!

I keep hoping it will find it's way back to me......any thoughts on that?

Great thought Heather and I totally agree.

Lisa, UGH!!!

Oh no Lisa!! Well, I'll see if I can find a good quote for that one!!!

I like that thought.

Thanks Heather...isn't funny...yesterday, I was actually able to break away from some junk, which I have been trying to get rid of, but saving in case...and I felt lighter after. So I guess it's true what you say!

I was just thinking this morning how I love that I am putting out so much trash and bringing so much to Goodwill today. I really do breathe a sigh of relief when I let things go.

Lisa! I hope you find it....

Thanks for that thought Heather!
