life's gifts




My faith partner gifted me with this cute Ann Taylor black and white floral lace cami. I really appreciate gifts every kind of them small, big, old and new etc. because after I settled here in the province, I had to really live way below my means. I was used to fast food and I didn't worry so much about finances until I went here. There was a time when I had to just eat the plants that grow in the backyard - mostly leaves of the sweet potato and chilly peppers - it was a healthy diet some may say, it is different when you don't have any choice.

The move also helped me assess my belongings, I got rid of the things that I didn't need and I found out that I had so much trash. The things we acquire over time and not having the time to clean up in the house really made these unwanted things accumulate fast.I realized that I don't need so much clothes and it won't hurt if I use them until they are frayed.I gave away the trinkets I don't have any use of but I kept those that I can display in my office space.Away with the wants and focus on the essential only.
