Fun Friday for me this week; time to rest and relax Great movie,
A MUST SEE movie: The Water Diviner with Russell Crowe. A great movie; sad, sad, sad, but great. Takes place in 1919 after World War 1 in Turkey. A farmer from Australia goes to Turkey after the war to find his 3 sons who were killed in the battle of Gallipoli. He plans to bring bodies home to bury near his home. Amazing story; great acting; just a wonderful movie.
Fun Friday--movies and relaxation

Konmari Rules for Tidying Up
l. Tidy up as quickly and completely as possible
2. Sort by category.
3. Ask for each item, "Does it spark joy in your life?"
Marie says to let go of any item that you have not used in 3 months. She says to let go of guilt; no need to keep an item because someone gave it to you. She says if you do it right you will never have to clear clutter again.
My own rules for keeping clutter at bay:
l. If an item comes into my house, an item has to leave the same day. Bag in; Bag out. This method works great for me.
2. Look around every day and find 2 things to throw in trash or to recycle.

Comcast technician who came to my home this week was young black man. He said his parents made him learn to read so he could get a good job.
SKILLS PAY BILLS
A statement made by young black man who got educated because his parents demanded that he learn to read. It would make a great bumper sticker.

How much is $100 dollars worth in each state?

$100 has a different value in each state. In Tennessee $100 is worth $110. NY and CA do not fair as well.
