Keep only the good things...

Måske er jeg optimistisk, men jeg håber, at vi snart kan vende tilbage til et mere normalt liv.
Hvad end det betyder for hver enkelt.
Forhåbentlig har vi alle lært noget, som vi tager med os, når restriktionerne ophæves, om vi så er enige i om de skal ophæves eller ej – lærer vi ikke noget, er det som om, at de sidste år har været spild.

Jeg har lært, at det eneste, der betyder noget i mit liv, er min familie. Jeg kan undvære alt andet. 

Jeg begynder at se anderledes på de ting, jeg samler på: giver det værdi - eller er det "støj"? Er det af værdi får det en plads, er det ikke, har det ikke plads hos mig mere. Det betyder ikke at det er en hurtig og simpel ting. Det kan være svært at give slip på noget, som måske har været en del af mig i mange år, men som ikke  har beriget mig. 

F.eks hvem har ikke arvet noget, som man egentlig ikke bryder sig om, men man beholder det, for "det bør man". Hvorfor gør vi det egentlig? Giv det til en som vil påskønne det! Skab fred og ro i dit liv! Omgiv dig ikke med ting der tynger dig ned, men som  opløfter dig!

I tried to make a "One sheet Wonder" using the stamp set Very Vintage from Stampin Up!

I can't remember the name of the box I bought. There was materials to make MANY cards and tags like the 2 I have shown here. Also from Stampin Up. 

Here I used Prized Peony, Stampin Up

Pansy Patch set, Stampin Up

Timeless Tulips, Stampin Up

From Left, Woodware JGS512

I can't remember the one to the right, it's a die

Maybe I'm optimistic, but I hope we can return soon, to a more normal life.
Whatever that means for each of us.
Hopefully we have all learned something that we take with us when the restrictions are lifted, whether we then agree on whether they should be lifted or not - otherwise it's like the last few years have been a waste. I have learned that the only thing that matters in my life is my family. I can do without everything else. I'm starting to look at the things I collect differently: does it give value - or is it "noise".

If it's of value it gets a place, if it does not, it has no place with me anymore. That does not mean it is a quick and easy thing. It can be hard to let go of things that may have been a part of my life for many years, but at the same time, it has not enriched me. 

For example, who has not inherited something that you do not really like, but you keep it, because "you should". Why do we actually do that? Give it to someone who will appreciate it! Create peace and tranquility in your life! Do not surround yourself with things that weigh you down, but that lift you up!
