"Wishful Thinking Today"

Oops! I need a bigger tree. probably one too big to get in the house. 11-18-2019 Perryton. TX
 

Well I had another creative idea to hit me today. I have three jewelry chest, and a few plastic bowls that I keep my jewelry in. but I always had to search for some time to decide which pieces I wanted to wear. I was always disgusted about searching through every tray, box, dish, and some that I had hanging on a tiny nail on the wall. I have a long dresser so I had just lined up many necklaces with matching ear rings across the top of the dresser. When my daughter-in-law came to see me she was going to clean my bedroom, but she didn't know what to do with all the jewelry so she could dust. This morning I was determined to find a way to display my stuff without waiting to go out of town to find something to use for this purpose. I knew we had no place here that was suitable for that need. Oh! I thought. I will go out and cut a branch of the dead trees, and glue it to a solid foundation, then spray paint it gold. I had the glue, and paint, and I found the perfect base to glue the branch to. I would be hanging all my jewelry on that tree branch and placing the ear rings on the base. I am posting my perfect idea for a disgruntled, hard to satisfy, lady when getting ready to go out. That is just one of the things I am in need of to get things off the floor, and where I can see them without unpacking the entire pile, such as my dozen's of purses stacked in a corner. And dozens of pairs of shoes, and boots that pile high in the bottom of a closet. The top shelf is filled, and I had to start throwing them on the floor. Now it's hard to find both shoes, or boots that match. I am not a person that will get rid of something I have liked even though I may not use some of them but once a year or two. I used to give my favorite cloths away, then years later I wished I still had them. It's not that I couldn't do better since I have six closets, but I just don't like going to the trouble of keeping everything in order. I hate to admit it, but I'm glad I won't be here when my kids come to clean out my house after I leave this world. I feel sorry for them.


Just the same I am one happy, thankful, person for all the blessings God has given me, and the love I have for being me, and nobody else. I still use my creative mind every day. I don't crave money, travel, fame, or have any desire to be close friends with those who do. I just want to think things out, and put my remaining strength on things to keep me one of a kind. I believe, according to God's word, that's what we all should want.


God Bless
