  1. When I'd sometimes meet mom for dinner, she'd tell me how much stuff she was getting rid of and that it felt so good to be clearing things out.

    After she passed away and her younger sister (my aunt) gave me boxes of mom's things, I was pleasantly surprised at just how much she'd kept. I wasn't expecting that at all.

    It most certainly makes that stuff all the more special. Like this little sweater of mine that I found in one of the boxes.

  2. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    We are stubborn because we are narrow-minded; it is hard to believe what is beyond the scope of our vision.
     
    [La petitesse de l’esprit fait l’opiniâtreté, et nous ne croyons pas aisément ce qui est au delà de ce que nous voyons.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶265 (1665-1678) [tr. Heard (1917), ¶273]

  3. #goodmorning #ukpolitics #radio #news That Mel Stride! #pensions come the day, he is mine! Our family has #personal with that slime ball. #kent #health #report why am I not surprised. The general attitude here is of 'that'll do', always going for the bare minimum of effort. Generalisation I know but my experience & I've lived all over #little #engerland. Have a good day all. xP
