another visitor at the pond

egret, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.

I was earlier than usual this morning (no traffic - yay!) so I stopped at the park to walk around in the morning sunshine. This egret was stalking frogs on the other side, so I crept as close as I could get and zoomed the camera as far as it would go. Not the best pictures, but I'm glad I got a few of him. He was lovely.

tossing more crap

I was going to post some of the pix I took on my walk this evening, but instead I'll just point you over here instead, where you can go look at them if you like. Nothing really remarkable, except for some odd flowers that I can't identify, and the strangeness of wisteria and strawberry blooming in mid-August. It's been a strange year.

My 365 photo project has proven to me that I can do something every day and stick with it, so I have high hopes for my de-cluttering project. I'm going to use the tag simplify to keep things, well, simple. I have done something every day to get rid of clutter in my apartment, and today I even extended that to my cubicle at work. I gave away a couple bottles of lotion that a reader gave to me and I'll never use (fruit scents - yuck), my Robbie the Robot toy, and a kazoo (don't ask, I have no idea). I also tossed all of my old phone books in the recycling bin. Then I had a sneezing fit from the dust. *g*

This evening, I cleaned out the bookshelf thingy in the bathroom. It was full of soaps and other cosmetics (mostly haircare products) that I know I'll never use. Tossed 'em. Found a couple of things I forgot I had. It felt good. I can feel the chi moving a wee bit more easily with fewer things to slow it down. I can't wait to feel it when I make some real progress.

I'm going to keep blogging about this, because I think it'll keep me motivated, but going forward I'll put things behind a cut in case you're not interested. You're welcome. :)

Please, if I haven't posted anything for a while about it, ask me! I need you to keep me honest. *g*
