As the days go by we are now into summer time. Clearing and decluttering my house is occupying my mind at the moment,  and this is distracting my mind from waiting for the results of my EMA. Which is only causing  my anxiety to increase.

The garden has now been tidied up it was a difficult task, but we had some help. The shed has been cleaned up and a lot of rubbish has been got rid of. The best things have been given to Charity shop, or my lovely neighbour who has helped me a lot lately, by helping me to  trim up my hedges at the side of the garden.

In my house soon everything will also be down to the bare minimum.
A spacious living room with lino floors, white painted staircase and no unnecessary furniture in hallways and so on. A kitchen that is more of a utility room, not full of knickknacks and art works, but just lots of cupboards and empty spacious work surfaces.

In a way I feel like I am also clearing out my mind to go forward into the future. This house, which is where we brought up our two  children, it still has traces of them. A house that has once been filled with the laughter of children. At times struggles too with  health issues, and and stresses of bullying from neighbourhood bullies, but all that is gone now, things have moved on,  thankfully the children have always found sanctuary at home with us.

We came through it all and now the children have grown up. The eldest has left home and is living an independent life. Our other son who has health problems,  is at the moment still living with us.

We will one day be leaving this house behind us, with it's happy memories and another young family will move in. We will then go to live in a bungalow with our youngest son living nearby us somewhere. That is the future of course, but for now it is just enjoying the time we have left together, and very soon I will be an old age pensioner!
