Being thankful for the memories and so much more! #GiveThanksThursday
00:00
Wow, I've been busy this week. I've been trying to organise my house a little better and eliminate junk and things we no longer use or that fits us. I am quite thankful for this and it feels SO good to get rid of stuff we no longer need. I've donated a fair bit to a local charity shop. I really don't like throwing things away but if someone else can make use of things we can no longer use then I'm all for giving it away! :)
While sorting through all my 'junk' I came across old photo albums, an old memory box, old letters from school friends and penpals dating right back 1996! I honestly didn't think I still had those but turns out, I do. I also found the cards and what not from when all three of my children were born and lots of other random things, I am SO happy I found all those things. I even found some photos of Harry from when he was a baby. I thought these had been lost in a house move, so you can imagine how happy I was to find them! I am really, really thankful and grateful for those photos.
This photo isn't the best photo quality in the world because well, it was taken eleven years ago on a normal (film) camera and it's a photo of a photo but I thought I would share.

Wonderful things to be thankful for! Isn't it fun to look back through old photos! We do a Flashback Friday every Friday on Embrace Happy! I love the stories that accompany each picture. Have a wonderful weekend!

Well done with your weightloss goals. I think a good clearout is always a good thing - for both de-cluttering and reminiscing purposes. Thank you for linking to #PoCoLo x

ReplyDeleteWhat a bonus to find the pictures! I really want to declutter too - it would be great if people could get some joy from things that we don't need and I am looking forward to a big sort out in coming weeks. Bravo
