Thank you especially for the ways to simplify your life. Your list reminded me of an article I have lived by for years and years. I found it in a Readers’ Digest (from 1984!). It was a lovely article about a Victorian lady’s diary that revealed six steps to happiness by Nardi Reeder Campion.
Lessons From Aunt Grace:
1. So something for someone else.
2. Do something for myself.
3. Do something I don’t want to do that needs done.
4. Do a physical exercise.
5. Do a mental exercise.
6. Pray! Always include counting my blessings.
This list has helped me stay balanced through good times and bad; kids, grandkids, sickness, short money, even less money and menopause! Also, now in retirement mode. Hope it helps someone else.

Kathy,

Oh my heavens, you are on it! I’d love to see photos of your trivets and your gift baskets! And what great gifts your baskets will make!

Thanks for sharing your creativity and your most kind comments! I always love hearing from you.

Hugs,

I have many different colors, to coordinate with the knitted dish cloths, that I have also made. Everyone that has seen them absolutely loves them! I am currently working through matching kitchen gadgets and/or homemade cutting boards (bought my husband a wood laser cutter for Father’s Day), to make a kitchen “basket” gift for family and friends this holiday season.
I do so love reading your newsletters every week. Thank you for the time that you spend putting such great information together.
