Over the past week, I’ve been sharing with you the ideas I’ve
come up with to experience and experiment with over the next two and a half
years, as I approach the milestone of turning 50. The things I’ve put on this
list are fun to think about and will hopefully be fun to consider.
Truth
be told, they may not all get accomplished. I might miss the mark on some
entirely. But I’m excited to think about the fun they can bring…the ones I do
get to try.
Today I
offer you the conclusion of the list, which is short, but it focuses on our
home and maybe a little thrifting!
1.
Get rid of 50 things that do not fit our
life here. We’ve lived in this house for over two years now, so we’ve
started to accumulate, as people tend to do with time and putting down roots.
While I don’t feel we’ve collected too much, I want to be intentional
about what we have within the walls of our house. As I sort and clean in the
short term future, I want to pull out things we don’t need or use.
2.
Thrift 50 things on my wish list (instead
of buying new). I already have three things toward this list! I carry a
wish list of things I’m looking for, and my hope is to find what I need without
buying new.
3.
Get a turquoise table for the porch. Remember
when I read The Turquoise Table? Oh yes. We need a turquoise table on
the porch!
4.
Go to the garage sale in the church in
Chicago. I shared a while ago my memories of shopping at a massive garage
sale held in a church up near Chicago. I saw on their site that they now have
TWO sales per year, and I think it would be so much fun to go with Ryan to shop
it again!
Thanks again for reading along
with this project. And thanks for your brainstorms to help me think through
some of my ideas!
