A Good Tip

As some of you know I'm in the process of moving. I have boxes packed and stacked everywhere. Which makes the house smell like boxes and paper.

Taking a break this morning, I logged onto Pinterest and found the best natural cleaning suggestions.

On a whim I decided to try one. 

You need your favorite scented essential oil.

The full toilet paper roll from your bathroom.

You then put several drops of the oil on the inside of the paper roll and then put it back on the paper holder. 

It really works.  My bathroom, closet and bedroom now has a scent of Eucalyptus that I can enjoy.

I tried it on my paper towel roll too.  It's a bigger area to cover...but I think it's working.

At least it's better than the box and paper smell.



One Year Anniversary !

A year ago this week I created a blog (OWW) to keep my mind active by writing about my thoughts, adventures and whims that struck my fancy. It's been fun jotting down ideas and playing around with different pictures and quotes to embellish the subject. I love reading your comments, it lets me know that there is a few of you reading my blog.  And I thank you for that.


This past year has been a busy one and went way too fast for me.  There were a few things that I really wanted to happen and I put out a lot of energy thinking about them.  Most of what I got back was the feeling that things were in the works, and that it would take time.  I resigned myself to the fact that worrying and wanting it was not going to make it happen any sooner.  So I relaxed and enjoyed my life as it was.  Then one week before Christmas I received a call that my rental house was going to be put up for sale and I had two months to find another place.


So, instead of fretting over the news, I decided to take action and test the energy that I had been putting out all year.  And believe it or not, the first condo I looked at was just what I had been wanting.  It is within a mile or two from where I live now; it has more room, a larger outdoor living space and all at the right price.  I jumped right on it and after giving them everything but my first born, I got the condo.


My life has been a little unnerving since then, but I know that this is the right path for me to take at this particular time.  The lesson learned is: "when you get what you ask for, it may not be the best time for it.  However, if you don't take it, it may never come your way again".


I will keep you updated on the process and let you know when I am in and settled.  I'm anxious to see where this new year will lead you and I. If you want to share your end of the year or beginning of the new year wishes, I would love to hear them.

"The best part of life's journey...is who you get to share it with."
