The man with a clear conscience probably has a poor memory. ~Author unknown
I read an article recently that advised everyone to get rid of things their kids would never want.
Things like fine china, used linens, collectibles (Beanie Babies, anybody?), furniture, medical equipment, old cards and letters.
This was before my Mom passed, before I started sorting through her things.

Moms
Are the
Official
Storytellers
Of our lives, and once
They pass on, we become
Aware there’s nobody else
Who knows us and loves us the way
Our moms did. Perhaps that’s why losing
Your mom feels like having your heart cut out.
Those who tell the stories rule the world. ~Author unknown
Storytellers bolster our confidence,
Remind us of our identity,
Preserve our family history.
Other females might step up
To fill the vacancy,
But nobody can
Replace our mom
When she’s gone
From our
World.

The world will always be beautiful to those who look for beauty. ~Margaret Renkl, American writer
This week has been gray, rainy, and dreary, but before it hunkered in, Monk and I took several long, lovely walks to enjoy the Spring.
