Thank you Diane, I re-watched this today (we are missing you, hope your mum is doing ok) and it was a great inspiration. I went through our stationery tub and declutterrd a lot, and refamiliarised myself with what we have. There’s more space on the shelf now 😊
Just joined your channel. Love its vibrancy already. Think my pm routine is, Caffeine free cola, ice cubes, close the drapes, light a candle. Start new knitting project, have my tea. Then warm the lounge up for an hour. Do crochet project I enjoy.
I really needed the reminder to actually schedule and plan for self care, instead of just sort of vaguely thinking of getting around to it. You’re the best, Diane!
It's very exciting Diane. We did a similar thing after 34 years of marriage. I never regretted our decision. I made another big decision in 2020 to let go of our apartment in Wales. Although I miss my darling husband Spyros very much since he passed away in 2023, I don't regret simplifying my life. I did go a bit mad with giving most of our possessions in Wales away but glad we were able to bless others with things they wanted and needed. Sorry to hear your mum is not so well. ❤ xxx Margaret in Cyprus
My mother’s condo building had a guest suite we stayed in while visiting. Mostly we were in mom’s unit but slept in the guest suite. It had beds, a bath and a small kitchen. At $30.00 a night, and in the same building it was a bargain.
My husband and I downsized and made changes in our lives two years ago, partly so we could spend time with our mothers who were both terminally ill. They both passed away last year and while we are still sad, we are glad we spent that time with them. Neither mother asked this of us. They both urged us to travel and do what was right for us. Will my sons do the same? Maybe, maybe not. Do I have any expectation? Definitely not. I want them to live their own lives.
Watching this in 2024 as i got fed up, got the blahs. Daughter and husband left mess everywhere. I tidied our communal areas and put two piles with their stuff. Now I need self care! ❤🎉❤🎉
How exciting 🎉🎉🎉.. when I moved from one state to another, I iwas excited and sad at the same time. I miss my sisters i've left behind. It's now five years later and I couldn't be happier with our decision. Still miss my sisters 😢.
It's Thursday when I'm watching but needed a bit of Monday motivation and to get back on track with zone 3. Thank you Diane for the "wash shower curtain" reminder, we lived for 20yrs in a house with shower doors and I have yet to put the shower curtains on a schedule at this new house, time to write it down 😺Rah! Rah! rah!.
