And I need to learn to give it more extravagantly.<br /><br />I hear you about trying to clean out a room. It can be a bit daunting, yes? And 10 minutes is better than no minutes. I'm going through books and some bins today ... and I will most certainly keep your 10 minute thought in my mind!<br /><br />I hope this sabbath gives you refreshment to soul and body.Linda Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568264417855502332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684802537865104750.post-14357566979489997232015-04-16T12:00:51.725-04:002015-04-16T12:00:51.725-04:00Great list!

I think it is having engaged in a life full of schedules that everything needs to be all in or nothing. Not a good way to live.
