I’ve been reading a weirdly specific book genre. It’s been a few weeks of medical tests, wedding plans, and making room in my house for a new family member. I took a break from monthly reading events and plans. comfort read =mood reading on steroids

I am very glad to hear that your health exams were positive. Congratulations to your daughter and her love. I wish them both the very best.

I’ve not heard the term comforting compulsions - it’s so apt for me as well. Leaving the house so frequently exhausts me! Glad you new daughter-in-law is with you and I wish her and your daughter a wonderful life together. The paper tiger! 😂 That sums it up brilliantly! I love this subject. I’m someone who gets ridiculously sentimental about objects and also find it difficult to get rid of things ‘just in case’ which is linked to my anxiety for sure. I really want to get rid of some things and I have read some minimalism and de-cluttering books, but still haven’t managed to clear things. I try to buy less these days. Which isn’t hard because I’m much happier than when I had the money to buy loads of stuff! Going to send you a voxer message ❤

@@spreadbookjoy hello Jack, I kind of made up comforting compulsions. I will claim it forever now. It’s mine.😀 As I get older, I’m finally able to get rid Of negative memories. It’s amazing how much stuff I have that were either purchased or written during times I want to forget. Now I go around my house saying to things, how did you get in my house and do I still want you here? lately the answer is no. Look forward to talking to you. Aloha friend.

I'm so glad your tests came out well and congratulations on gaining a new family member. Decluttering can be so satisfying. You're inspiring me to attend to some dust collectors of my own!

Marilyn - how are you going to unclutter if you’re reading all these books?

@MarilynMayaMendoza 21 час назад

Hi Cion, when I pull a muscle, I take a day off😊Aloha friend

9:09 I have read a great book about decluttering. So what did I do?!? - read another book about decluttering! 😂 Thank you! You made my day. I wouldn’t have begun decluttering, either 😊

@MarilynMayaMendoza 18 часов назад

Hi Winderlinde, I once looked for a book "How to Clean House While Laying in Bed" but I was disappointed that my mother had played a practical joke on me. It doesn't exist.😄

@GinaStanyerBooks День назад

Awww, sorry to hear about Don Aslett. I love his books too. I love housekeeping and decluttering and cleaning books in general, but his were some of the most fun. I also find them comforting when I'm feeling anxiety. PS I forgot to say congratulations to your daughter and your family on the wedding!

@MarilynMayaMendoza 21 час назад

@@GinaStanyerBooks Hi Gina, I was thinking of you when I made this video because we also read the same decorating author back in the day and now I forget her name. I must’ve given away her books because now I can’t find any. She had one about tea ceremonies as well. Yes, John Aslett passed away around my birthday in August. I did not realize that his book would lift my spirits that much., Yes, we are all excited about the wedding. It’s a small affair, about 20 people. The ceremony will take place at grotto in a botanical gardens. Thanks for watching. Aloha friend.

@MarilynMayaMendoza 18 часов назад

PS. Yes, it is sad about Don Aslett. He passed away last month at age 89. He had a good life.

I'm glad your test came back negative. Decluttering is a topic I am interested in. I have been decluttering for a while now. I need to do a better job in controlling the stuff that is coming in

@MarilynMayaMendoza 19 часов назад

Hi Stuart, It wasn't exactly negative, just not worse. I have peripheral artery disease (PAD), but they caught it at an early stage, so I have to do all the things to keep my LdL down. So far, so good. One tip I'm using now is when I bring something new in, I get rid of two things. thank you for watching. Aloha friend.

@SluggishReader День назад

I'm glad to hear your health tests went well Marilyn! ❤❤ And balance is always the key when it comes to "having enough" vs "having too much". I find myself struggling with this sometimes haha... I resonate with your hot shower example - for me and my family, it's the air-conditioner.

@MarilynMayaMendoza 18 часов назад

I have one small AC in the hottest room. But years ago, no one had AC in Hawaii, it doesn't get that hot and we have trade winds most of the time. I find it is getting hotter lately though. Aloha friend.

@cindyurban150 День назад

Hi Marilyn, You look so pretty with the black top, and white tuberose lei. I'm so happy for you that all your medical tests came back "Normal". I always have anxiety whenever I have to go for any tests. The books you talked about today are not what I like to read about. I never like "Practical" books,or presents. When I read I don't want to engage myself with a major chore,such as cooking,or cleaning. My mother just passed away and we had to do a major clean out,with just days to get it done,so I have decided to do some de-cluttering of my own. Congratulations on your new family member. Have a wonderful weekend ! Cindy 🌻

@MarilynMayaMendoza 18 часов назад

Hi Cindy, First, I'm sending my sincere condolences on the loss of your mom. Gentle hugs sent your way. I was always a big nonfiction reader, especially travel books, so I turn to that genre when stressed. Aloha dear friend.
